While every follower of Christ is a member of the Church as organism (the spiritual body of Christ), only by a public promise can you be part of the church as organization. At Hayward Wesleyan, membership is a public promise before God and the community to commit one’s self to the work of Christ within our congregation.
Membership in a local church is different than membership in other organizations. In many organizations, the organization exists to serve the individual. However, within the church, membership is about service to others on behalf of Jesus Christ. At Hayward Wesleyan we take seriously that we are a church that exists not for ourselves, but for others.
We encourage all committed believers who share in the vision and mission of Hayward Wesleyan to become covenant members.
