“So, do not merely attend a church (though you should attend), but join a church. Link arms with other Christians. Find a church you can join, and do it so that non-Christians will hear and see the Gospel, so that weak Christians will be cared for, so that strong Christians will channel their energies in a good way, so that church leaders will be encouraged and helped, so that God will be glorified” - Mark Dever

Membership at Redeemer Church is about so much more than attending services—it’s about partnering together in the gospel, as Paul describes in Philippians 1:5. It’s a shared commitment to labor for each other’s joy in Christ, as seen in 2 Corinthians 1:24, and to live out our faith in the context of a loving, Christ-centered community.

As members, we walk together as a family in worship, encouragement, evangelism, and perseverance, spurring one another on toward spiritual maturity and gospel faithfulness. This partnership fosters deep, authentic relationships, supports your spiritual growth through regular teaching, modeling, and discipling, and provides mutual accountability as we help one another follow Christ.

We invite you to explore our Church Covenant and discover how membership at Redeemer is an opportunity to join hands with fellow believers in advancing the gospel, strengthening faith, and rejoicing in God’s work among His people. Membership isn’t about merely joining a church—it’s about becoming workers together for the joy of the Lord and the mission of His kingdom.

View Our Church Covenant

God has always intended for his children to live in community with one another. This pattern is clear from the opening of Genesis. The Bible teaches that membership in a local church is the normal expectation for a healthy disciple of Christ. The Bible knows nothing of a Christian living out their faith autonomously detached from a local faith family. Christians are called:

to assemble together regularly to build one another up in Christ (Hebrews 10:23-25)
to encourage one another regularly (Hebrews 3:12-14)
to partner together to evangelize the lost (Matthew 28:18-20)
to protect each other from sin (James 5:19-20)
to guard the church from hypocrisy (Matthew 18:15-18) and…
to be built up by the regular teaching of God’s Word through gifted teachers (Hebrews 13:17).

To faithfully follow these commands, Christians partner together in the gospel with other believers
in a local assembly to cultivate deep, authentic, God-glorifying, sin-fighting relationships.

Membership Process

Attend a Membership Matters class: Our membership class is a rich and informative opportunity to explore who we are as a church. It provides a thorough overview of our mission and vision, statement of faith, church covenant, leadership structure, worship philosophy, and much more. Offered multiple times throughout the year, the class is designed to guide you thoughtfully and intentionally, giving you a deeper understanding of Redeemer's identity and what it means to be a committed member of our church family.
Pastoral Interview: After completing the Membership Matters Class, the next step is to set up an interview with an elder. This is a great opportunity for the elders to get to know you, hear your testimony, and answer any remaining questions you may have about the church.
Congregational Affirmation: Once you have completed all the steps in the membership process, a pastor will present you for membership during a Faith Family Meeting. At that time, the congregation will gladly affirm your membership, publicly committing to care for you as you, in turn, care for us in the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Baptism: If you have already been baptized as a believer by immersion in a gospel-believing congregation, you will become a member of Redeemer immediately upon the congregation’s affirmation. For those who have not yet been baptized, we will joyfully work with you to schedule your baptism as a public declaration of your faith in Christ, which will follow the church’s vote of affirmation.
