What does it mean to be a member of The Greater Experience Church/eChurch?
What we believe in as a church ministry:
We believe in Jesus Christ being the son of God. We believe that by confessing belief in Jesus Christ that we’re saved (Christians). We believe that Christ is our example, God is our creator and sustainer and that the Bible is our instruction manual on how to live a Godly and positive lifestyle.
Your expectations as a member/partner.
Supporting your church:
As a member/partner of this ministry, you are expected to serve as a good steward and represent The Greater Experience Church with love and integrity. 1 Peter 4:10-11 says “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."
Supporting your Spiritual Leader:
1Thessalonians 5:12 says "And now, friends, we ask you to honor those leaders, who work so hard for you, who have been given the responsibility of urging and guiding you along in your obedience. Overwhelm them with appreciation and love”.
Financially Supporting Tithing/Giving Offerings:
At The Greater Experience Church tithes, offerings, and all seeds sown are used for ministry purposes and if you are a member, at any time you are able to request an annual report of how the finances in the ministry are used.
God asks the question, In Malachi 3:6 “Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed me. Yet you say, where have we robbed you? In tithes and offerings."
1 Corinthians 16:2 we read that on the first day of the week, the people brought their first fruits to the temple.
Leviticus 23:10 “When you come into the land which I give you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.”
Followship/Discipleship:
Allowing yourself to be lead by Elder Marciano Austell and trusting the God in Him enough to submit yourself to his teaching, leadership and instruction. As disciples and followers of Christ, you are expected to display Godly character and brotherly love towards everyone, in particular to those that you are in ministry with.
Luke 6:40 ESV
"A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher."
John 13:34-35
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
