membership
“For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” (Romans 12:4-5)
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.
In January 2024, Cornerstone is rolling out membership to take steps to mature in our mission to cultivate a community shaped by the gospel for the renewal of all things.
Members of Cornerstone:
