Congregational membership refers to the formal association of individuals with a specific religious congregation or faith community. Members typically participate in the life of the congregation, including worship services, community activities, and decision-making processes. Membership often involves a commitment to the beliefs and practices of the congregation. In many cases, congregational membership requires individuals to undergo a process, such as attending classes or meetings, to understand the congregation's values. Members may also have responsibilities, such as contributing financially or volunteering their time. This sense of belonging fosters community and support among members.
