Keanggotaan gereja

Keanggotaan gereja dalam Kekristenan adalah keadaan seseorang yang memasuki kongregasi gereja lokal, yang dalam kebanyakan kasus, membuat seseorang menjadi anggota denominasi gereja dan Gereja Kristen universal.^[2]^[3] Para teolog Kristen mengaharkan agar keanggotaan gereja sejalan dengan Alkitab.^[4]^[5] Proses menjadi anggota gereja beragam tergantung pada denominasi Kristen. Orang-orang yang bersiap untuk menjadi anggota penuh dari sebuah gereja banyak dikenal sebagai katekumen, kandidat atau probationer tergantung pada denominasi Kristen dan status sakramental seseorang.^[6]^[7]
