We all long for a place to belong - to be known, loved, and supported. In a world that feels more disconnected than ever, God offers something better.

Partnership

Over the years, churches have kept membership rolls, held membership classes, and discussed the importance of church membership. Church membership signifies a Christian connecting, serving, and developing close fellowship (Acts 2:42) and living missional lives with a local body of believers. At Vertical, we choose to call our members partners. Partnership comes from the Greek word κοινωνία. Kοινωνία defined as fellowship, communion in participation, and a close relationship.
