Why Become A Member?

We at Covenant Chapel believe that being a Christian not only means believing in Jesus Christ, but belonging to his body as well. Being a Christian and being a part of a church body are inseparable.

While most other social clubs or organizations exist to serve its members, the Christian Church is completely different in that its members are called to serve the church and others within it. Becoming a committed member is a public declaration to support the church and live according to the Word of God. It is a way for believers to have a sense of ownership of, a spirit of unity within, and a form of accountability from the church. In Acts 2:46-47, the people met together at the temple and shared their food and homes with one another as a display of their unity and accountability.

If you consider Covenant Chapel to be your home, we encourage you to sign up for membership classes and become a member.

Membership Process

The first step to becoming a member at Covenant Chapel is to sign up for our membership class(es). Membership classes are offered on an as need basis though we traditionally announce membership classes twice a year.

The membership process includes an application ( membership candidates will sign a membership covenant and share their testimony), a series of classes (class times are flexible), an interview with the elders and lastly taking an oath in front of the congregation during the worship service. This allows the congregation to serve as witnesses of the candidate's membership induction and fosters a spirit of support and accountability within the context of the church body. Finally, a membership certificate will be presented to finalize the induction process.

If you would like to become a member, please contact Pastor Fred Porter.
