Membership
“…when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” - Ephesians 4:16b
What is church membership?
Church is not an event we attend, but a community we join. Church membership is a formal way Christians partner together as the body of Christ to do the work of Jesus Christ.
Why Join a Church?
Make your faith public
Church membership allows you to display the life changing power of Jesus together with others. As members we publicly identify with Christ by committing to a body of His followers.
Connect to a Caring Community
Church membership formally connects you to to the love, instruction, encouragement, and care of our church community as we follow Christ together through the highs and lows of life.
Live out Christ’s Mission
Church membership joins you to a united, organized, intentional effort to obey Christ’s Great Commission with far greater effectiveness than we could do alone.
Pathway to Membership
Becoming a member of Calvary Baptist involves three steps.
