Star Rising Church - MEMBERSHIP
Becoming a Member
Becoming a member of Star Rising Church is more than joining a congregation—it’s entering into a spiritual family united by faith in Jesus Christ. As a family we are committed to growing in love, service, and purpose. At Star Rising, membership means saying “yes” to being part of a Spirit-filled community that worships passionately, walks in healing and deliverance, grows in truth, and serves with joy. It’s a declaration that you’re ready to belong, to be equipped, and to actively contribute to the life and mission of the church—locally and regionally—as God continues to raise up His people for His glory.
Q: What inspired the name 'Star Rising'?
Just as the rising star announced Christ’s birth and guided seekers to Him (Matthew 2:1-2), our church’s calling is to point people to Jesus as the Savior.
Attendance
Attending church regularly helps us stay spiritually grounded, deepens lasting relationships, and provides opportunities to grow in love, patience, forgiveness and unity with others through grace in Christ. In consistent fellowship, we encourage one another, walk side by side in faith, and experience God’s presence together as His family.
"And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near." — Hebrews 10:25 (NLT)
Join In God’s Work At Church As You Are Able
God’s Word calls believers to faithfully serve and use their gifts to bless others, beginning with the church family. Loving others through service gives you the opportunity to share your God-given talents, deepen your purpose, and actively participate in God’s work within His church so that others are able to experience the love, power and grace of Jesus Christ.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
-Galatians 6:10 (NIV)
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
-1 Peter 4:10 (NIV
Giving
God is the source of every good gift—He is the great provider of our daily sustenance. As we give, He promises to increase our resources and produce a harvest of righteousness. Our generosity blesses others, meets the financial needs of the church and results in overflowing thanksgiving to God.
Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop… And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others."
- 2 Corinthians 9:6, 8 (NLT)
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
- 1 Corinthians 9:12 (NIV)
Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
- Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV)
