Church Membership
Why Church Membership?
The clear pattern of the New Testament reveals that where one finds Christians, one finds them meaningfully engaged with other Christians in a local community of faith called a church.
Who is Eligible for Membership?
Membership at Crosspointe is open to believers who have been baptized by immersion following their profession of faith in Christ, as well as believers who are seeking to be baptized.
How Do I Find Out More?
For more information, talk to any of our pastors or join the Welcome Class, which will walk through all aspects of church membership in greater detail.
