TCW believes in church membership. We believe it’s biblical, we believe it promotes spiritual growth and maturity, and we believe it helps protect the peace and purity of the church. For those interested in exploring the biblical reasons for church membership, we highly recommend this article: Re-membering the Body
Anyone and everyone is welcome to pursue membership at TCW. Everyone who can answer the following questions in the affirmative will be admitted to membership.
- Do you acknowledge yourself to be a sinner in the sight of God, justly deserving His displeasure, and without hope [except for] His sovereign mercy?
- Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and Savior of sinners, and do you receive and rest upon Him alone for salvation as He is offered in the Gospel?
- Do you now resolve and promise, in humble reliance upon the grace of the Holy Spirit, that you will endeavor to live as becomes the followers of Christ?
- Do you promise to support the Church in its worship and work to the best of your ability?
- Do you submit yourself to the government and discipline of the Church, and promise to study (promote) its purity and peace?
Our next membership course will be: Sundays after church, Oct. 27 - Nov. 24

Our 5-week course will give you an opportunity to better understand our view of the Bible, our philosophy of ministry, what makes us different than most of the churches in the western suburbs, and what it looks like to be a TCW member. You'll be able to ask any questions you want. Attending the course does not require a commitment to join; just a desire to learn. However, we do ask anyone interested in joining the church to take the course.
