Partnership
To become a "member" there isn't a process. To be a part
of our community, all you need to do is come. We will do our best to serve you,
teach, share with you, love you, and allow you to serve no matter where you are
in your spiritual journey.
On the other hand, to become
a partner involves a process. When you are ready to make a public commitment to
increase your level of service we would encourage you to become a Partner.
The Partner Process looks like this, and does not have to be done in this order:
- Have made
a focused commitment to Christ.
- Have made a public confession of faith through
baptism by immersion** (must have made a focused commitment to Christ first).
-
Be actively connected in a Cell Group.
- Be actively involved in serving and developing
your spiritual gifts.
- Have completed "The way of the Cross" (a 6 session conversation
with others about our life in Christ).
- Attend "DNA of Crossway" (a dinner with
leaders sharing our vision and values. You must complete #s 1-5 before attending
this event).
- Embrace the Partner Covenant.
- Be commissioned.
The Partner Covenant
is:
- Invest your passions - Honor God by following Christ personally and passionately.
Your reputation is Christ's reputation and the church's reputation.
- Invest your
talents - Participate in the life of the congregation through genuine worship, sharing,
learning, and serving.
- Invest your resources - Support the Gospel by tithing
(10% of your income) and then by giving more as the Lord leads. Invest your time,
skills, talents, and gifts in and through the church.
- Invest your relationships
- Develop authentic loving relationships with others in the church and establish
significant relationships with those who do not know Jesus.
We are a volunteer force
of talented, gifted, unique and committed "partners." If you want to become a part
of what we're doing - to connect, learn, grow, and impact our community - we welcome
you with open arms.
