Church Membership
Membership reflects a commitment to a local body of believers, where accountability and spiritual growth are nurtured in the context of biblical community. Being an active member is more than just attending Sunday services, rather it includes participating in the life of the church, serving one another and submitting to godly leadership. In joining a church, you publicly declare your allegiance to Christ and His people, fostering unity and fulfilling your role in the Great Commission. We welcome you to consider joining UCI in membership. If you will be in Istanbul for more than six months and are interested in more information about becoming a member you may join our Introduction to UCI equipping class hosted in the Spring and Fall.
