Memebership

How do I become a member of CLC?
 

We believe church membership is important but that church membership does not do anything to gain us standing or favor before God. Our acceptance before God is solely based on the work of Jesus Christ and our faith and trust in that work. Therefore we have the following requirements for those interested in joining with us at CLC:

1. Attend a New Attendees / Memebership Suinday School Class (classes are held twice a year; usually spring and fall of each year)

2. Read the CLC Constitution and By-Laws

3. Speak with an Elder or Pastor who will either set up an in-person or telephone meeting. During this meeting the following topics are discussed:

• Describe your salvation experience
• Have you be baptized by immersion?
• After having read the Constitution and By-Laws: do you have any questions
• Are you in general agreement with the Constitution and By-Laws and are willling to abide by them?

4. The results of that meeting are then brought before the next regularly scheduled Elder Board Meeting for approval.

5. Those joining the church will be received as church family members at a future Sunday morning worship service.
