In all biblical analogies for the church, it is implied that the relationship between a Christian and the church is to be one of unity, commitment, and love. Church membership is an important part of participating in the body of Christ at Holy Cross and therefore we give you a vision for this relationship and address a basic framework for living out God's mission as his brought-together people.
You'll hear about our mission to magnify God's glory, live as God's people, and engage in God's mission. And, better yet, you'll hear from leaders and members in our church on how to best demonstrate and live out this mission. Attending a membership class is required for membership, but participation in the class does not obligate you to join.
Membership Class Q&A:
Q: What is the process of becoming a member of Holy Cross?
A: Our membership process consists of five steps:
- Attend an in-person Membership Class
- Complete the Individual Ministry Profile Packet (Available at Orientation Dinner)
- Share your personal testimony with a church elder
- Schedule your new member vows during a Sunday service
Q: When is the next Membership Class?
A: Our membership class is usually offered at least twice throughout the year. Please let us know if you're interested and we can get you signed up for the next class.
Q: Do I have to become a member if I complete the course?
A: Nope. We hope the class affirms your desire to become a member but completion of the course does not obligate you to join?
Q: I've been a member of another church prior to attending Holy Cross. Do I need to take this class if I want to become a member of Holy Cross?
A: Completing our membership class in its entirety is required for all wishing to join. The goal of our class is to help you learn more about the specifics of what it means to be a part of Holy Cross Church. You'll learn new things in this class.
