Become a Member

As the local expression of the body of Christ, we commit to living out the 50+ “one another” statements found in the Scriptures. This idea of membership that both Jesus and Paul point to, is for our mutual encouragement, protection, and instruction.

Four-Step Membership Process

Elder-Led, Congregational Church

To become a member at Citizens Church, we ask individuals to walk through the following four-step process.

  • Step One: Attend the Membership Classes

    All prospective members are required to attend both of our Membership Matters classes. These classes are held on the first Sunday of each month at 9 am, and they cover several topics, including:


    • Our Church History
    • Our Beliefs
    • Our Church Covenant
    • Our Values
    • Why Join a Church?
    • Life as a Church
    Register for the Next Class
  • Step Two: Meet with a Pastor

    The prospective member meets with a pastor/elder to review basic information and share God’s converting work in his or her life. After affirming the church’s confession of faith and church covenant, the application would then go to the elders.


    Once the form below is filled out, a pastor will reach out to schedule a meeting!

  • Step Three: Pastor Recommendation

    At a regularly scheduled elders’ meeting, the pastor/elder who met with the prospective member will review the membership application with the other elders.


    Upon receiving the approval of the elders, the candidate’s application would proceed to the next step: congregational affirmation.

  • Step Four: Congregational Affirmation

    During a regularly scheduled members’ meeting, each pastor who met with a membership candidate will briefly share how each candidate came to know the Lord.


    Questions are welcomed and then a vote is taken. With a majority in favor, the candidate(s) will be joyfully welcomed into membership!
