Membership at Crossview

In 1 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul describes the church like a body made up of different parts. These parts are all important and have a function. By seeking membership at Crossview you are saying that you desire to be an active member of this body, both through your gifts and presence. Below are the three steps required for membership. If you have any questions or need help, please contact Community Life Pastor Aaron Thompson.

  1. Watch the Membership Videos (Part 1 - 20 minutes; Part 2 - 30 minutes; Part 3 - 5 minutes, plus a spiritual assessment)

  2. Fill out the Membership Application

  3. Meet with a council member and a staff person to have a chance to ask questions and get answers, receive help getting involved, and briefly share your faith story.

What are my next steps?

  1. Confirm that you’ve watched all three parts/videos.

  2. Fill out the membership application. Click here.

  3. * Change because of COVID: Meet with a council member and a staff person to have a chance to ask questions and get answers, receive help getting involved, and briefly share your faith story. Please email the church to schedule this meeting. After this your application will go to council for approval.

  4. Upon approval, you will attend the Sunday service where we welcome new members. You will stand in front of the congregation to answer a few simple “I do” questions. After that you will be welcomed and prayed over. Congratulations and welcome to the Crossview family!

 

We are thankful that you have taken this significant step of faith.

And now the excitement continues as you connect, grow, serve, give financially, and make Crossview your home church.

We are better together.
