In all biblical analogies for the church, the relationship between a Christian and the church is implied to be one of unity, commitment, and love. Church membership is an important part of participating in the body of Christ at Holy Cross. Therefore, we want to give you a vision for this relationship and 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. Better yet, you’ll hear from leaders and members of our church about how best to demonstrate and live out this mission. Attending a membership class is required for membership, but participating 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 normally consists of four steps:
- Participate in an in-person Membership Class
- Complete the Individual Ministry Profile Packet
- Share your personal testimony with a church elder
- Schedule your new member vows during a Sunday service
Q: What is a Membership Class?
A: Our membership class is an opportunity to learn more about Holy Cross—especially what we believe and how you can become involved in our community life and ministries. It is usually offered at least twice a year. Our next class is scheduled to begin on August 23rd. You can click the Register button above to sign up.
Q: Do I have to become a member if I complete the course?
A: No. We hope the class affirms your desire to become a member, but completing 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 here?
A: We think participating in our membership class will be helpful and informative for you, and we ask everyone who wishes to join to attend the class. Our goal is to help you learn more about what it specifically means to be part of Holy Cross Church.
