Learn more about our membership process and discover how you can commit to the mission, vision, and community of Gospel City Church.
The first step is to be known and under shepherding care at Gospel City. This is done primarily, though not exclusively, through our Missional Community Groups. If you're new to Gospel City, welcome! Plug in, get to know some people, invite people into your life. The membership process starts with relationship.
Attend a membership class where we give an overview of what we believe about doctrine and ministry. Read through the membership handbook and, additionally, listen to the “What is the Church?” sermon series, which outlines what the Bible says about church and membership.
Fill out a membership application (one form for each person requesting membership). Filling out this form does not obligate you to join in membership at Gospel City.
After completing an application, a Gospel City elder will coordinate a time for a conversation. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss your faith in Jesus, the gospel, doctrine, spiritual gifts and responsibilities for membership. In some cases, there may need to be additional steps taken before being affirmed by the elders for membership.

Jesus told his disciples to baptize his followers, so we ask all prospective members, if not already baptized as a Christian, to take that step of obedience by being baptized. Then, read and affirm the Gospel City Membership Covenant.
The final step is to be presented before the congregation and affirmed into membership by the members of Gospel City Church.

The Church is the people of God, redeemed by Jesus, empowered by the Spirit, and sent into the world to proclaim the gospel and make disciples.
