Become part of the community and commit yourself to playing a part in pursuing the church’s vision. Every person has a unique role to play, and we hope that you will find in ChristChurch London a community where you can both belong and make a significant contribution.
Being part of a church is so much more than simply turning up and being part of a crowd each Sunday. There is so much we want to do, so many people and nations we want to reach, and so many ministries we want to develop, that the more people that get on board, the further and faster we can get towards accomplishing our vision.
If you are considering becoming a member at ChristChurch London we would ask that you read through the information below and ask yourself these two questions:
Is this a vision I can own? Is this a community of which I can become a part?
Becoming one with Christ, which happens at the moment of your conversion, means that you become part of his worldwide Church, and this is totally a result of His grace. This ‘positional’ membership is eternal and unchanging.
However, the Bible also urges ‘positional members’ to continue growing by becoming ‘participating members’ in a specific local community. Participating members have expressed their willingness to be part of the local church, to get involved and to help make things happen. It is an important step for each believer to make in one’s spiritual journey, and we believe that it is an essential part of becoming a mature and healthy believer.
We would start by encouraging you to begin by joining us regularly at our Sunday celebrations and becoming an active member of a Life Group for a couple of months. Becoming a member is recognition of the fact that we are fully engaged in the life of the church, so getting involved is the first step!
We would also ask you to read through the Membership Booklet and watch the accompanying video in full, and then decide whether you are ready to give yourself to our vision, to supporting the leaders, and to becoming involved in church life.
Once you’ve done all of that, we’d ask you to talk with your Life Group leader and they can take you through the process of filling in a Membership Form, and they will then pass it on to the Eldership Team.
