Membership At BridgePoint

Why Membership Matters

At BridgePoint, we believe church isn’t just something you attend, it’s a family you belong to. Membership is how you say: “This is my church home. I belong here, and I’m committed to growing with God and with others.”
Membership isn’t about perks or status. It’s about partnership. When you become a member, you’re saying yes to:
  • Growing in your relationship with Jesus.
  • Living out your faith alongside others.
  • Becoming part of a community on mission to help all people get closer to God.

Who Membership Is For

Membership is for anyone who is ready to make BridgePoint their home church. To become a member, you must:
  • Believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
  • Be baptized by immersion (or ready to take that step).
  • Commit to living out BridgePoint’s mission and values with God’s help.
  • Partner with others here to serve, give, and grow in community.

Benefits of Membership

Membership is both a privilege and a joy. As a member, you:
  • Belong to a spiritual family that cares for, prays for, and encourages you.
  • Receive pastoral support and guidance as you grow in faith.
  • Discover and use your spiritual gifts to serve God and others.
  • Grow in discipleship through worship, teaching, groups, classes, and serving.
  • Play a role in key decisions like affirming elders, approving budgets, and supporting major church-wide initiatives.

Responsibilities of Membership

Membership is also a commitment. As a member of BridgePoint, you agree to:
  • Worship regularly with your church family.
  • Live in community through Life Groups, classes, or serving teams.
  • Give faithfully and generously to support the mission.
  • Serve others with your time, talents, and gifts.
  • Protect the unity of the church by choosing encouragement over gossip and grace over division.
  • Pray for the leaders and people of BridgePoint.

Your Role as a Member

Membership is not just about what you receive, it’s about what we do together. As a member, you join a movement of people who believe:
  • We are better together.
  • We get to give.
  • Found people find people.
  • Invested people invest in people.
  • Growth equals change.
Together, we help all people get closer to God.
