Points of emphasis for our understanding of the meaning of active membership in the community of faith:

1. Focus around what we are called by God to be and to do;
2. Understand the significance of the meaning of membership as discipleship;
3. See discipleship as a journey inward with God and outward in service;
4. Undertake a shared ministry among the members as we are called and gifted by God;
5. Participate in a community as the bond that we share with one another because we belong to God.
   Members of the New Creation Community Presbyterian Church are asked to sign, and annually renew their commitment to, the following covenant:
   We who experience God's grace and Christ's salvation, covenant with Christ and one another as members of this community to live under the following commitments:

• I will participate in weekly corporate and daily personal worship.
• I will participate in a fellowship group of prayer and study weekly.
• I will help provide for the spiritual growth and nurture of our children.
• I will seek to support and deepen the spiritual growth and development of the community.
• I will return a percentage of my money to God's work, the goal being 10% or more.
• I will seek to identify and develop my gifts as well as the gifts of the community for service to others.

With God's help and the help of my brothers and sisters in this community, I make this commitment in response to God's call to witness in the world.
