Gooch explores our everyday understanding of what it means to be an \'involved\' member of a church. Gooch\'\'s four categories help readers to think differently about the way they participate in church. Unlike many books on church membership, Gooch does not spend a lot of time on bylaws or matters of organization; rather, he speaks to the heart of our participation: how we belong, what we believe, how we live, and the possibilities for our growth in faith. Gooch stresses that Christians belong to a community fo faith, Gooch shows how Christians live their faith in private and public acts of devotion and ministry.
