Membership
Rituals and regulations are for religions and denominations. We focus on relationship.
Great Plains has no membership requirements to start -- you're approved!
No transfer or letter of introduction needed.
Come as you are: joyful, or broken, searching, empty.
This “Family Of Christ” consists of local attending individuals who, as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, affirm the principles of Great Plains Fellowship. Members express this affirmation through both their confession and conduct, demonstrating a lifestyle consistent with their beliefs and in accordance with the GPF standard operating plan (By-Laws). Furthermore, members actively pursue and maintain a vibrant fellowship with the Lord, Jesus Christ. Our shared commitment involves collectively following Jesus on this journey together in life.
No dress code. No initiation.
No minimum balance in your church donation account.
Our desire from the heart is for you to have joy, get free of worry and doubt, expand the depth of your connection to Jesus, and discover and use your unique traits to serve others.
And realize: you can work towards these things without being an “official member” of ANY church! When you learn to recognize and cherish the presence of the Holy Spirit inside you, you can do great things anywhere.
No catch, but here’s the fine print:
⇒ We’re about relationships, and one relationship in particular: you and Jesus Christ. ⇐
We encourage all believers to commit themselves to a fellowship of other believers, whether it’s with us or another church, where they can grow and serve.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. — Hebrews 10:25
Great Plains Fellowship wants to be “kingdom” minded and encourage commitment first to the Lord and then to fellow believers.
