Membership at Christ Church

What’s in it for me?

The primary reason to become an active member is not to gain a personal advantage but to identify with the characteristics of spiritual maturity and commitment to the mission of the church. Members are critical as they own our vision and are “stakeholders” in achieving our mission “To reach thousands of unchurched persons and help them become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”

Why join?

At Christ Church, we believe membership is important in a local church for many reasons.

• Personal – Membership encourages spiritual growth as scripture places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other. At Christ church, our desire is to encourage everyone to be “on the path” actively participating in the journey to spiritual maturity.
• Cultural - We live in an age where few want to be committed to anything … a job, marriage, or family. Membership swims against the current of modern consumer mentality allowing us the opportunity to share hope with people in dire need of “the mind-blowing thing called grace.”
• Biblical – Christ is committed to the church. Ephesians 5:25 says that “Christ loved the church, and gave His life for her.” Membership in a local church is an important step in demonstrating our commitment to Christ.

• To worship regularly and invite friends, family, and co-workers to join you
• To pray for Christ Church and your unchurched friends and family regularly supporting the mission “To reach thousands of unchurched persons and help them become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”
• To do life together in a Life Group digging deeper in to God’s word alongside other believers
• To serve others in a meaningful ministry using your gifts in helping others to know Christ
• To tithe or work towards tithing your income as scripture teaches us to give the first 10% of our income to God

How Do I Get Started?

Christ Church offers a monthly Membership & Orientation class on Sunday from 3-6 pm that outlines our beliefs, history, and structure for our mission in full detail. This class is required before becoming a member of Christ Church.
