Membership at Community Bible Fellowship serves four primary purposes:
1. It gives you “ownership” and a greater “commitment” to the work of the local church.
2. It gives you the opportunity to be a part of the decision making process as we work together for a positive ministry emphasis.
3. It gives you the opportunity to serve in the church in a position of leadership that benefits both yourself and the local body of believers.
