MEMBERSHIP

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.

4. It provides a means of accountability for both the church and the member.
