Church Membership

Reasons for Becoming a Member 

• A Christ-Honoring Reason: It is a tangible expression of a spiritual reality. It helps us make a public declaration of a spiritual truth about our identification with Christ and other believers. Christ loved the Church and gave his life for it. As we commit to the Church, we join Christ in that commitment. Mark 10:45, Luke 24:46-47, Hebrews 10:25, Colossians 2:19

• A Missional Reason: Quite simply, we are better together. We can accomplish more by joining with others than we would ever be able to accomplish on our own. Matthew 28:18-20, Romans 12:5-8, Acts 11:19-26, Ephesians 2:10

•  A Spiritual Growth Reason: It’s part of the progression of faith. First, we commit to Christ, and as part of that we further commit to Christ’s family. Additionally, there are 39 “one another” commands in the New Testament about how to live life as brothers and sisters that cannot reasonably be fulfilled without a commitment to a specific group of people. John 13:34-35, 1 Corinthians 12:14-22, Ephesians 4:15-16

What must I do to become a member? 

• Attend the Discovery CCC.  Membership classes are designed to give a theological, historical and practical background of Community Covenant Church. The church's vision, 'creating accessible pathways to encounter Christ, connect with others and serve God's Kingdom together' is also fleshed out for the Membership class. A 'gift assessment' is taken to assist connecting people to serving opportunities. The gift assessment can be downloaded here. The next class cycle will begin September 16th at 10:00 in the Library.

Please contact Pastor Johan at johan.t@cccks.org or Pastor John Paul at johnpaul.hw@cccks.org for more information.

• Share your testimony with the Church Council.  When new members join a Covenant church, they are asked two questions about belief: “Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior and promise to follow Him as Lord?” and “Do you accept the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testaments, as the word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine, and conduct?” They are then asked if they intend to live as faithful followers of Christ and members of the church and denomination. That’s all.
