This study is concerned to determine whether holding church members accountable to vows of commitment through community discipline can restore meaning to membership in unhealthy congregations. The Scripture study wrestles with the topic of authority that God has vested in His servants who are appointed to leadership in the church and also whether the discipline carried out in the early church is applicable to today's setting. The restorative nature of discipline is explored in the section dealing with theology of ministry. The relationship between membership and discipleship is considered throughout this paper.
