Next Steps
Jesus Christ is the first step on your faith journey. Jesus is the way, and the truth and the life (John 14:6). If you have any questions about who Jesus is or what it means to follow Him, reach out. We would encourage you to View the Story as you seek to understand who Jesus is and what He has done for us.
Baptism is a public profession of your faith in Jesus Christ. It’s the next step after your salvation. Although baptism is commanded to the believer, it is not to be confused with salvation itself. We are not saved by being baptized. Baptism is simply the outward sign of the inward change; it is 'going public with your faith.' Just as Jesus was buried in the tomb, and He rose, defeated sin and death so that we could have eternal life, so we make our profession of faith, following the example that He has set for us. Contact a member of our pastoral staff if you’d like to talk further about getting baptized at an upcoming Crosspoint service.
Covenant Membership
Joining a church is about much more than simply having your name on a list; it’s about becoming part of a family. In fact, we view membership as a covenantal relationship, just as one would covenant in marriage. It is important, therefore, that each prospective member takes time to learn about who we are. Prospective members should take time to regularly attend worship services, get to know our church family, read our statement of beliefs and convictions, and ask church leadership questions they may have. Click here to access the various documents related to membership.
This meeting is an informal conversation to learn about the prospective member’s testimony of faith, life and interests. Additionally, this meeting is a chance for the prospective member to ask questions about the church and to talk with the church leader about how he/she can participate in ministry at Crosspoint.
All new members covenant with the Body of Christ at Crosspoint by agreeing with the membership covenant which describes what the expectations are for those who call Crosspoint their home church.
After completing the membership process above, the names of the prospective members will be included in the next monthly email that goes out to all members. That month, current Crosspoint members will be encouraged to clear up any relational or other difficulties which could hinder the relationships and unity among the Crosspoint family. This is done in the spirit of Matthew 18:15-17. The names of the new members will be introduced to the congregation during a Sunday service so that the rest of the church family can get to know them.
The Christian life involves more than just believing – it also includes belonging. We grow in Jesus by being in relationship with other believers. Doing life together in community with other believers is vital to our walk with Christ. We encourage all those who call Crosspoint home to take the next step and be connected to a 3D Community Group. Contact Pastor Dave or complete this form online to get connected to a group.
Our volunteers give of their time, energy, and love to serve others. Volunteers are at the heart of the church, the Body of Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12 says, “The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.” We are one body with many parts and we want to see each part playing its role. Membership is not a requirement for serving at Crosspoint. Some roles and opportunities are open to all, while others are for those who are Covenant Members.
If you desire to get more connected, contact us and take the first step toward serving.
