Membership Matters

When a person becomes a member of Aley Church, he or she:

  1. Professes faith in Jesus Christ as Lord as Savior,
  2. Promises to be loyal to The United Methodist Church, and
  3. Promises to participate faithfully in the life and ministries of Aley Church by his or her prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

The 1-2-3’s of Membership

The 1-2-3’s of Membership help us live out our membership commitments.

  1. We are pursuing ONE MISSION: to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world (Matthew 28:19-20).
  2. We share TWO GREAT LOVES. We love God, and we love others (Matthew 22:37-40).
  3. We live by THREE SIMPLE RULES (Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church, ¶103):
    1. Do no harm.
    2. Do good.
    3. Stay in love with God.
  4. We serve in FOUR MISSIONAL ARENAS: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth (Acts 1:8).
  5. We are committed to the FIVE PRACTICES of fully devoted followers of Christ. We:
    1. Worship with others weekly,
    2. Participate in a transformational small group,
    3. Practice the spiritual disciplines,
    4. Are growing in giving toward a tithe, and
    5. Serve from a sense of calling.
