Commit (Partnership) 
What it means to be a partner?
The difference between "attenders" and "partners" is commitment
We ask you to commit to partnership for four reasons:
A biblical reason:
Christ is committed to the church
Ephesians 5:25 Christ loved the church, and he gave his life for it. At WH727 we recognize the need for a formal partnership.
A cultural reason:
It is an antidote to our culture
We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything...a job...a marriage...our country. This attitude has even produced a generation of "church shoppers and hoppers". Partnership swims against the current of America's "consumer religion." It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.
A practical reason:
It identifies who can be counted on
Every team must have a roster. Every school must have an enrollment. Every business has a payroll. Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration. Partnership identifies our family.
A personal reason:
It produces spiritual growth
The New Testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you’re not committed to any specific church family.
What is expected of me as a partner?
At WH727 we never ask our partners to do more than the Bible clearly teaches. We simply expect our partners to do what the Bible expects from every Christian.
