Partner With Us
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
— Paul, Romans 12:4–5
Partnership is what South-West Evangelical Church calls membership.
To be a Partner means to be on board with our mission, vision and core values, to affirm and hold to the beliefs and distinctives of our church, and to agree to a responsible member of our church and the expectations that come from that.
We invite you to join us regularly in worshipping with us regularly, being in the word with us regularly, making the most of being part of a community and joining us on mission.
