- Abstract
- Non-active members place a palpable strain on the resources of the local church. This project defines a non-active member as one who chooses not to participate in the worship or mission of the church, yet retains membership in the body. Through personal interviews with twenty non-active members, the author uncovered the variety of reasons for their non-active status. Contrasting their responses, the biblical and traditional theological standards of discipleship and meaningful membership were examined. In concert with the Session of the church, the author concluded that the disciplines of discipleship must take precedence over the idea of membership.
