Becoming a Member

Why Should I Become a Member of the River of Life Sanctuary Bandar Puteri?

Finding a faith community can be difficult, but when you find the right one, you know you are at home. Making a formal commitment to a faith community is an important step on a journey of faith. Membership provides a point of reference from which you can venture out on a life-long journey of faith. Membership also brings you into a fellowship of other members – fellow pilgrims – who are on faith journeys of their own

What does a Member have to do?

There are five requirements for becoming a Member of River of Life Sanctuary Bandar Puteri:

Baptism

If you have not known Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour or have not been water baptized, we welcome you and will gladly help you understand that God created you to love you and God has a purpose for your life.

Regular Attendance

Membership is all about involvement. The most important involvement in any church is worship – pleasing God. In worship, we pray, we sing, we hear the words of Holy Scripture, and we experience the presence of Christ in the Holy Communion and most of all we please Him. Making worship a regular part of life strengthens and renews us so that we can discover the life He created us to live – here on earth and forever in eternity.

Invest Time

We know that time is the great commodity of our world, but the only way to truly be a part of a faith community is to spend time within it. Time is God’s gift to us for life and love. How better to show our thankfulness for life and love than by giving back some of our time to God?


Invest Talent

Every Christian has unique talents that God has given them and which God calls us to use. Our unique God-given talents have places where they can meet the world’s greatest needs. At the River of Life Sanctuary Bandar Puteri, the many opportunities for faith exploration and faithful service allow us to discern our calling to serve the world. Membership at River of Life Sanctuary Bandar Puteri, means a commitment to find and invest your God-given talents through ministry to believers and reaching out to pre-believers.

Paying of Tithes

River of Life Sanctuary Church Bandar Puteri is a completely self-funded church. By offering your tithes, you will be abundantly blessed. 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in allthings, may have an abundance for every good work, with blessings”.
