Membership
Membership is about more than attending church meetings. Members commit to joining a spiritual family that provides encouragement and support. They are called to a higher degree of responsibility, service, and sacrifice. Our elders and leaders pledge to assist our covenant members with care, counsel, prayer, and teaching. We hope that, as the Lord leads, you make a covenant to be part of our church family.
Members at Cornerstone Bible Church are those who have:
Made a public profession of their faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior- Been scripturally baptized
- Met with one of the elders for a membership interview
- Made a commitment to abide by the membership covenant of Cornerstone Bible Church
- Been received as members of the church by the elder body
We want you to make an informed decision about joining our church, so we provide a Core Convictions class covering what it means to be a member at Cornerstone Bible Church and our beliefs and distinctives. The class is not required but is highly recommeded by our elders for all those new to our church and our Philosophy of Ministry.In the book of Acts, churches were made up of believers committed to serving one another in the Lord. Our conviction is to follow this biblical model through membership. One of the greatest spiritual blessings to a Christian comes from participation in the lives of other believers. In the church, members are served and serve as each one uses their unique spiritual gifting to build up the body. Vibrant body life includes the sharing of spiritual resources through proactive discipleship, faithful counseling, and sacrificial service. The result is growth into maturity by the power of the Spirit according to what each member supplies.
Interested in Membership?
If you would like to join Cornerstone, please email membership@cbckaty.org. We will set up an interview with you and some of our church leaders. They will get to hear your testimony and answer any questions you might have. After that you will be added as a member during one of our services. If you have not yet been scripturally baptized, you can be added as a member after baptism.
