Hello Fresh Family,
I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
As your pastor, it is my deep joy and sacred responsibility to shepherd this church family in truth, love, and unity. One of the most vital parts of that journey is walking together in committed, accountable, Spirit-led membership.
Being a member of a local church is more than a name on a roster — it’s a covenant relationship. It means we are joined together as one body, united in faith, growing in grace, and committed to fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives and for our church. Membership is both a privilege and a calling — to worship together, serve one another, and advance the Kingdom of God as a unified, Spirit-filled community.
To that end, we have created this Church Member Accountability Guide — not as a rulebook, but as a roadmap for spiritual alignment, mutual encouragement, and healthy discipleship. This guide is designed to help clarify what it means to be an active, growing, and accountable part of the Fresh Family. It outlines biblical expectations, core values, and practical commitments that strengthen our walk with Christ and with one another.
Our prayer is that this guide will:
Promote unity by aligning us under shared expectations and biblical standards.
Encourage growth by helping each member take personal responsibility for their spiritual journey.
Foster accountability that is rooted in love, grace, and truth.
Equip leaders to shepherd the flock with clarity, consistency, and compassion.
Strengthen our witness as a church that lives out what we believe.
In a culture that often drifts toward isolation or consumer-minded Christianity, we are choosing a better way — the biblical way — where every member matters, every gift is needed, and every soul is valued. This guide is just one step in building a healthy, Spirit-led, mission-focused church where Jesus is glorified and people are transformed.
Thank you for your commitment to this house, to its vision, and most of all, to the Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s continue to grow together — in holiness, humility, and harmony — for the glory of God and the good of His people.
With love and gratitude,
Andre D. Lee | Senior Pastor
