The congregation votes on membership in the church. To join a church a person professes belief in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and confess their repentance from sin. The congregation may put a person in watchcare to determine someones commitment to the church and Jesus Christ. When I was 7 years old I professed my allegiance to Christ at the same time that my older sister did. I was put into watchcare and later that year was admitted into the church.
Watch care allows a person to fellowship, to participate with the ministries and receive spiritual guidance, direction and leadership from a Pastor through another church without changing the membership of their "home" church. The person under watchcare is not allowed to vote or hold an office in the temporary church.
