What is wrong with the church today?

Congregations across America are weak because many of us church members have lost the biblical understanding of what it means to be a part of the body of Christ. We join our churches expecting others to serve us, to feed us, to care for us.

God did not give us local churches to become country clubs where membership means we have privileges and perks. He placed us in churches to serve, to care for others, to pray for leaders, to learn, to teach, to give, and, in some cases, to die for the sake of the Gospel. It’s time to give instead of being entitled.

You don't need to become a member to participate in our services and programs. Many of the AOIMF Family are not members. But for those who do choose to become members, we believe there are many joys and benefits in making this commitment, as well as opportunities for you to serve others just as Christ served others.

Becoming a member of AOIMF

An invitation is given during service every Sunday for those wishing to become members. Once you have stepped out, you will be enrolled into the Catch The Fire Class.
