Membership
What is church membership?
Membership is a way for you to:
- declare that you agree with the church's mission and vision.
- commit to being a part of what God has called us to do.
- demonstrate your intent to connect with this part of God's family.
- acknowledge your partnership with other believers
Would you like to start the membership process?
First, attend the Membership Workshop. Attendance alone doesn't make you a member, but it's a great way to decide if this church is one you want to join.Where and when are the workshops?
They're held every other month, on a Sunday near the end of the month, from 3-7:30 pm in The Point. Check the calendar for dates.
Childcare is available for children from birth through elementary school by reservation only. If you need childcare, please contact the Membership office at the church no later than Wednesday before the workshop to confirm there is space available and to receive special instructions.
How do I sign up?
Simply mark your Keeping in Touch card, contact the membership office or just come to the workshop!
Is membership only for adults?
No.
Anyone age nine and up can become a member of CrossPoint Community Church. Anyone interested in baptism or membership should let their pastor know by either talking to a staff person in their ministry, marking the Keeping in Touch card on weekends or contacting the church office. Then ...
Children age nine through sixth grade meet with the children's ministries pastor. One or both parents are required to attend with their child. The pastor will talk with the child to find out where the child is in his or her faith walk, and then discuss the results with the parent. Together they'll determine the child's readiness for baptism and membership, and, if appropriate, will be enrolled in the next Membership Workshop. These are held on four consecutive Sunday mornings at 9 am. Typically, the child will be baptized on the next scheduled date after completion of the workshop.
Junior high students complete a workshop that meets on a Wednesday night. It covers what it means to be a Christian, baptism and what it means to be a member of CrossPoint. The junior high director will ensure the student is ready for membership and schedule them for the next baptism.
High school students attend a workshop that meets on Sunday mornings. Once the high school pastor confirms their readiness he schedules them for the next baptism.
