What it Means to Be a Member
Being a member means that you’re part of our family. Members are given privileges such as the right to vote, access to their Deacon (who provides material help), and access to their Elder (who provides spiritual help). Members are also held to higher level of accountability and are expected to serve regularly and disciple others through community groups.
“let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works... encouraging one another.”
How to Become a Member
1: Membership Class
Every quarter, we hold a 3-hour membership class that explains our essential beliefs. The class is taught by one of our elders who goes through our New Member’s Handbook that explains our mission, vision, core beliefs and behaviors. To get info about our next class, check our events calendar or contact us.
2: Interview
Following the class, if you decide to become a member then we want you to be able to personally meet with your primary care elder and express your testimony and ways in which we can help equip you for ministry. Our staff will work with you to schedule an appointment.
3: Reception
Joining a church doesn’t just require agreement; it requires commitment. This is a challenge for modern Americans who live in a culture of high consumption and low commitment. We naturally seek to put in as little as possible and get out as much as you can. However, a Christian is called to not be conformed to the pattern of this world (Rom.12:2).
To learn biblical reasons for church membership, we recommend listening to the following sermons, "What’s So Great About The Church?" and "Healthy Church Life."
