How does membership relate to baptism and communion?
-
Who should become a member?
-
How is discipline related to discipleship?
-
Should a believer associate with someone under church discipline?

With succinct chapters, this is an eminently practical resource for any church leader, elder board, or new member seeking a foundational understanding of how the church should function.
