Becoming a Christian
God loves us. Sin separates us from God. Jesus’ death on the cross and
resurrection have paid our debt and re-connects us with God. You become a
Christian when you, by faith, ask for forgiveness for your sins, repent from them,
and receive God’s free gift of salvation. If you have made this decision, we would
love to celebrate it with you during the time of invitation at the end of the
worship service. If you have questions about Christianity please speak with one of
our Welcome Team members or our pastors.
Becoming a Member
Anyone is eligible to become a part of this family of faith regardless of
denominational tradition or faith background. You may join by becoming a
Christian or by your statement that you are a Christian. Simply come forward
during the invitation at the end of a worship service. New members are also
required to attend our Membership Class Journey 101.
Welcome! Thank you for joining us in today’s worship.
