By God’s grace, with repentance and faith in Christ, through our baptism, we become members of Christ’s Holy Church. But this membership is always expressed locally through affiliation with a particular body of believers.

We see church membership as a formal way of saying, “I’m on board with what the Holy Spirit is doing in this church community and want to grow and be formed alongside these people.” Membership is not, however, a requirement to worship, volunteer or be in an Apprentice Group at Cornerstone.

People are invited to become members at the start of every calendar year. This takes place through a three-week membership class in January and culminates in making a membership commitment at the annual member meeting in February.

Those who desire to become members of Cornerstone:

• Must be at least 16 years of age

• Have been baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit

• Sign and strive to abide by the Cornerstone Membership Commitment, which includes the Cornerstone Rule of Life.
