Membership in a local faith family is an important part of your following Christ. At 4Points, we do a covenant membership that happens through a membership candidacy process. The process follows the following steps:
1. Attend one of our "First Point" classes. These classes happen multiple times a year immediately following The Gathering. This class is a chance to connect with our staff, learn more about our discipleship pathway, and see how you can get involved and serve! This class is 45 minutes and snacks are provided. No registration required. See the calendar below for upcoming classes.
2. Attend one of our "Membership Information" classes. These classes happen 4 times a year immediately following The Gathering. Our classes are scheduled for the 3rd Sunday in February, April, September, and November. In the class, we talk about what our church believes and the importance and meaning of church membership. The class is a required step in the membership process. Lunch and childcare provided. Registration is required by the Wednesday prior to the class. See calendar below for upcoming classes, and click on them to register!
3. Look over the Membership Covenant. Be sure to carefully read the belief statements and the covenant commitments. If you have any questions, make note of them to discuss during your elder interview.
4. Using the testimony writing guide, write your testimony and email it to anna@4pointslife.org. Once this is done, you can wait to hear from us about getting your elder interview scheduled.
5. Elder interview with at least two of the elders. This gives you a chance to ask any questions, as well as for the elders to pray over you and get to know you better.
