Membership

Covenant membership provides the biblical context for Christians to commit to one another and help each other follow Jesus.

Introduction

The Membership Introduction class helps you understand who we are, what we believe, and how we intend to help each other delight in Jesus Christ. Attending the class doesn’t obligate you to join the church, but it is the first step toward membership.

The next class is TBD in early 2025. Click the button below to stay informed.

Discussion

We understand that it’s important for you to know the pastors of the church you’re joining, and for them to know you. So, this discussion helps us do that by providing an opportunity for a pastor to spend time with each potential member. The conversational setting gives an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the church and share your personal faith story.

Covenant & Commission

Upon recommendation from the pastors, those who desire to join the church will be affirmed by the congregation and be invited to publicly affirm and sign our church membership covenant. Then, we live out that covenant together by doing life with one another, serving the community, and making disciples that delight in the supremacy of Jesus Christ.

What about transferring from another church?

In order to provide continuity of pastoral care, we make an effort to follow up with your former church, particularly if it’s a local church in our area. So if you were previously a member of another church, make sure to tell one of our pastors during your pastoral meeting.

Covenant membership in a local church is one of life’s most important decisions. Church membership provides the biblical context for Christians to commit to one another and help each other follow Jesus.
