Membership

What Does It Mean To Be A Member?

Express Your Commitment

Being a member helps you remain faithful and committed to God. As you stand committed to a church and its vision, it helps you to continue in your commitment to Christ as well.

Engage in Leadership

We want your voice to be heard and your DNA to be part of our church’s identity! When you become a member, not only do you have more opportunities to serve, but you also have more chances to be involved in leadership!

Experience Unity

It’s impossible to be a Christian and live in isolation. When you partner with us through membership, it helps you to have a greater impact. By being in unison with others, we are striving together to be part of something bigger than a single person or vision.

Exercise Your Gifts

Every person is important to the body of Christ. Partnering with us through membership allows you to work with the rest of the body, exercising the gifts that God gave you to build up the church!

Ready to Become A Member?

If you’re ready to be a member, before completing your Membership Application, please take a moment to look over our Seven Membership Commitments, our Beliefs, and our Position on Tithing!

After reading this document and filling out an application for Membership, someone will get back with regarding your next steps. We will go over parts of this document at our Membership Reception, where you will be asked to affirm these beliefs and commitments.
