Dr. John Clayton begins a six week lecture series on church membership and Presbyterian beliefs and practices by taking a look at the decline of emphasis on church membership, and why it is both biblical and still vitally important for our Christian life today.

In this third session, Dr. John Clayton walks through every aspect of our worship service, showing how it is Scripturally saturated, theologically intentional, and designed for the congregation to actively glorify God as a corporate body. Whether you've ever been to or watched a service of ours or not, this will be a great guide to how we worship at Covenant Presbyterian.

In the fifth session of Membership Matters, Dr. John Clayton walks through the Presbyterian form of church government. He discusses its authority, structure, discipline, and practice, looking at each from a biblical perspective, while also comparing it to other forms of church government throughout Christianity. This is another aspect of Presbyterianism that can be easily misunderstood or misrepresented, so this session will be beneficial in learning more about the church from a leadership and structural position.
