HCC Member Check-up
Would you answer ‘Yes’ to any of the following statements?
1. When asked if I am saved or if I am trusting Jesus as my savior, I am unsure.  I would like to have more clarity about my own salvation.
2. I have not been baptized as a believer. Or, I am wondering if I should be rebaptized because of the circumstances surrounding my first baptism.
3.  I am unclear about what it means to be a member at HCC.  I want to be more familiar with our Statement of Faith, Purpose Statement, and Membership Covenant.
4. I need help developing a quiet time with the Lord.  Attempts that I have made in this area have been unsuccessful.  I don’t feel like I am experiencing a personal relationship with the Lord.
5. My relationship with God is isolated.  I’m not a part of a small group and I don’t have other believers in my life with whom I discuss my faith.  I would like that to change.
6. Giving money to God’s work is an afterthought for me, not something I am intentional about.  I would like to be more intentional about my giving.
7.  I am unaware of any gifts and talents that I have that could be used to build the kingdom of God.
8. I am aware of my gifts and talents.  However, I would like help finding ways to use them to better serve God.
9. I want to be Spirit-led, but I’m unsure about how to know if something is coming from the Spirit or my own mind.  I would like some coaching in this area.
10. I feel unequipped to share the gospel with someone else.  If someone asked me how to become a Christian.  I don’t know what I would tell them.
11. I have never shared my testimony with anyone else and I would like help developing it and learning how to articulate it to others.
12. I would like to be more involved in missions than I currently am.  I could use some help and ideas about how I can be a part of reaching out to other cultures with my gifts and talents.
