CrossPoint Partnership

Welcome to Partnership! Our vision is to see people far from God become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. At CrossPoint, it is our desire to help you grow in your spiritual journey.
We help people to take their first spiritual steps after becoming a follower of Jesus Christ through the following ministries:

Baptism - It's our privilege to serve people who want to express their commitment to Christ publicly through water baptism (Acts 2:41).

Membership - After completing the following requirements for membership:

Accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior
Baptism
Completing CrossPoint's Membership Class

It is our joy to welcome new members into the CrossPoint Church family.

What It Means To Be A Member

At CrossPoint we ask you to commit to church membership for four reasons:

A Biblical Reason

Christ is committed to the church. "...Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her." Ephesians 5:25

A Cultural Reason

It is an antidote to our society. We live in an age where very few want to be committed to anything. This attitude has even produced a generation of "church shoppers and hoppers". Membership swims against the current of America's "consumer religion". It is an unselfish decision. Commitment always builds character.

A Practical Reason

It defines who can be counted on. Every team must have a roster. Every school must have an enrollment. Every business has a payroll. Every army has an enlistment. Even our country takes a census and requires voter registration Membership identifies our family.

A Personal Reason

It produces spiritual growth. The New testament places a major emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other for spiritual growth. You cannot be accountable when you're not committed to any specific church family.

What Is Expected Of Me As A Member?

At CrossPoint we never ask our members to do more than the Bible clearly teaches. We only expect our members to do what the Bible expects every Christian to do. These responsibilities are spelled out in the Membership Covenant.

I will protect the unity of my church

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus" - Rom 15:5 (NKJV)

By acting in love toward other members (1 Peter 1:22)
By refusing to gossip (Eph. 4:29)
By following the leaders (Heb 13:17)

I will share the responsibility of my church

"...Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." - Luke 14:23 (NKJV)

By praying for its growth (1 Thess. 1:2)
By inviting the unchurched to attend
By warmly welcoming those who visit (Rom 15:7)

I will serve the ministry of my church

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." - 1 Peter 4:10 (NKJV)

By discovering my gifts and talents
By being equipped to serve
By developing a servant's heart (Phil. 2:3-7)

I will support the testimony of my church

"Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another-and all the more as you see the Day approaching." - Hebrews 10:25
