JESUS IS KING!

Membership

Become a Member of

Christ Fellowship 

Worship Community Mission 

At Christ Fellowship, membership is more than a name on a list. It’s a covenant — a commitment to belong to a family of believers who worship together, grow together, and join God’s mission together. If you call Christ Fellowship home, we invite you to take the next step and become a covenant member.

Why Membership Matters 

Anyone can attend a church. Membership is different — it’s the way we say, “This is my church family, and I’m committed to it.” We believe the local church is central to God’s plan; in fact, we see each local church as an embassy of the Kingdom of God. Meaningful membership is how we live that out together. 

​

Here’s why it matters at Christ Fellowship: 

  • It reflects the Bible’s pattern. Scripture is full of “one another” commands — love one another, serve one another, encourage one another. Those commands assume a committed community to belong to. 

  • It connects you to a mission. Our mission is guiding people to a multiplying impact for Christ’s Kingdom. Accomplishing it depends on members who are committed to that mission together. 

  • It provides care and accountability. Members watch over, encourage, and lovingly correct one another, walking together through both joy and hardship under the care of the church. 

  • It clarifies what we believe and how we live. Going through this process helps you clearly understand our beliefs and commitments — so your decision to join is an informed and wholehearted one. 

 

Membership at Christ Fellowship is meaningful by design. We’re not looking for the largest possible list — we’re looking for a committed family that shares a common faith and a common mission.

What Is Covenant Membership? 

A covenant is an agreement between people for a shared purpose. Our Church Covenant is our agreement on how we will live, worship, and serve together as members. We describe that covenant through seven simple verbs — the heartbeat of what it means to be a member here. 

Believe
01

We share a common faith in the gospel and the doctrines summarized in the Baptist Faith & Message 2000.

Multiply
02

We focus on an ever-increasing ability to make disciples

- every member equipped to help others follow Jesus.

Give
03

We support the ministry of the church through regular, cheerful, generous giving, as stewards of all God provides.

Belong
04

We live out the "one anothers" in real community, primarily through Life Groups and Multiply Groups.

Worship
05

We gather regularly for worship - singing to God, praying to God, and hearing from God through His Word.

Serve
06

We each use our gifts to serve in a ministry of the church throughout the year.

Go
07

We share the good news of Jesus and join God's mission, both near and far.

A PLACE TO BELONG

Members affirm our Church Covenant and our Confession of Faith (the Baptist Faith & Message 2000). You’ll explore all of this during the Discover Class. 

The Path to Membership

Becoming a covenant member is a clear, four-step journey. Most people move through it over a few weeks. 

01

Attend the Discover Class

Start here. Discover is where you’ll learn who we are, what we believe, and how we live together as a church. It’s the front door to membership and a great place to ask questions — whether you’re ready to join or still exploring. 

02

Complete the Membership Application

After Discover, you’ll fill out a short membership application. It includes sharing your testimony of faith in Jesus and affirming our Church Covenant and Confession of Faith. 

03

Elder Interview

Next, you’ll meet with one of our elders for a warm, encouraging conversation about your faith, your testimony, and any questions you have about life and membership at Christ Fellowship. 

04

Church Vote

Finally, as a congregational church, our members welcome new members by a vote. Once affirmed, you’re a covenant member of Christ Fellowship — part of the family! 

The Discover Class 

Discover is a one-time class for anyone interested in membership — or simply curious about Christ Fellowship. In a relaxed setting, we’ll walk through our story, our beliefs, our mission, and what covenant membership looks like. There’s no pressure to join; it’s the best place to get your questions answered and decide if Christ Fellowship is where God is calling you.
