At FCC, we take our membership roll down to zero at the end of every year and have a month-long time of renewal and recommitment that is accompanied by a 7-Habits based Spiritual Health Survey. This helps us take stock of where we are spiritually as individuals and then focus on how to grow together.

A Few Important Clarifications to Remember:

• At FCC, membership includes an agreement to uphold our Confession of Faith, which is a short summary of what we consider the orthodox teachings of the Christian faith. FCC’s teaching and ministry are rooted in and flow out of these biblical doctrines. We believe it is irresponsible and dangerous, as is common in many modern churches, to encourage our members to affirm so little when the Bible itself is quite rigorous regarding what a Christian should believe! So, while we have long required anyone in leadership or who is teaching at any level to agree to uphold the “Teacher Covenant," during Summer 2021, the Elders decided to begin requiring all members, as of 2022, to uphold this “Confession of Faith” (which is the same basic content as the Teacher Covenant was, but with a different name.) You can read the Confession at fccgreene.org/beliefs. “Agreement” is defined as a basic agreement to our Confession’s assertions, where there is an agreement, and where there is disagreement, the promise to speak to an Elder and to not teach or practice contrary to it in our ministry settings. 

• Every single member, regardless of how long you've been a member, is required to renew each year to maintain active membership. Just to be clear, there is no ongoing active membership status from year to year without renewing one's membership. If you fail to renew for one year, you are no longer an active member.
• Each person must fill out a renewal form. You cannot fill one out for your spouse or children.
• Exceptions to the above will be handled appropriately.
