*At Love Alive Church, we don't have members, we have partners.  Why?  Because some of us have been or are currently members of a gym or fitness club.  This means we pay fees and have access to the club.  With these fees, we expect certain things: nice equipment, working lockers, pleasant staff.  As members, we pay for what we get.  If we don’t like what we get, we leave. With a partnership, there’s a significant difference in that partners take responsibility, make investments, mutual goals are identified, and collaboration is in place.  In other words, partnership is more than simply a statement of where you worship.  It is a commitment to the vision, mission, and ministries of Love Alive Church.
