Responsibilities of Membership
by Henry David Gray

Each of our churches would phrase, in its own way, the responsibilities, duties and privileges of membership. But, in every instance, the list would be likely to contain the following responsibilities of a church member:

1. To have a sincere Christian faith.
2. To attend the services of worship and church meetings.
3. To pray regularly, particularly in the family.
4. To participate in the life and work of the church, according to the talents God has given.
5. To give systematic financial support to the church's work at home and to its program of missionary, social, educational, and medical service.
6. To seek and follow the guidance of God in the affairs of daily life, particularly business.
7. To show a friendly care for the poor, struggling, lonely, weak, or sick.
8. To promote the spirit of harmony within the church, seeking always to follow the way of the Master with restraint, understanding, and love.
9. To maintain a strict watch over one's personal character.
10. To seek to bring the love of Christ and the joy of fellowship to others.
