Membership
Why Membership is Important
Membership at Calvary is important because it affirms members’ commitment to the church and Calvary’s commitment to them. If you want to become a member, you commit to becoming part of our biblical mission to make disciples. Likewise, Calvary commits to giving you the training and resources you need to accomplish that mission.
Our membership application process enables our leaders to effectively guide and nurture the community at Calvary. We request that prospective members follow the steps laid out below. This process is designed to form a dedicated congregation that is equipped to serve God in a manner that honors Him and draws others to the good news of Jesus Christ.
