Membership Process

Membership is more than a commitment—it is a covenant to hold fast to the command in
Hebrews 10:25 by “not forsaking our own assembling together.” As you prayerfully consider pursuing membership at 5 Bridges Church, we’re here to help answer any questions as you prayerfully consider the fellowship God is calling you to.

  • Before becoming a member, we require prospective members to:

    1. Consistently attend two of the three weekly gatherings for at least three months. Attending Small Group Fellowships, Sunday services, and MDWK Wednesday gatherings will give you a better idea of how we function as a church, giving space for you to process our worship services, theology, and general operations.

    2. Fill out a questionnaire that will give us a better idea of how we can serve you.

    3. Attend both of our New Member class sessions. This will allow you to understand our beliefs, how you can get involved as an active church member, and give you an opportunity to connect with our church leadership.

  • Our membership classses are broken up into two-week sessions. During the first session, we walk prospective members through our statement of faith, our denomination, our mission, and our church’s goals. During our hour-long sessions, we offer plenty of space to address any questions you might have.

    During our second session, we foster the time and space for each attendee to share their testimony of how the Lord transformed their life and how He is continuing to lead them on the path of sanctification.

  • Before joining 5 Bridges, we do require:

    1. Prospective members must have consistently attended two of the three weekly gatherings for at least three months prior to attending the New Members clas.

    2. Prospective members must attend both sessions of our Membership Class.

    3. Pospective members must have participated in believer’s baptism or are willing to participate before joining.

  • Yes! At 5 Bridges, we require all prospective members to have participated in believer’s baptism or are willing participate before joining the church.

  • Should you decide you want to pursue membership with 5 Bridges Church after walking through the process with pastoral guidance and prayer, we will present confirmed members to the church body. At the end of the service, we will announce new members and lead you and the congregation through a responsive reading of the church’s covenant. (Also, be sure to stick around for a quick group photo).
