Membership

At CRBC, we take membership in the local church seriously.
If you are interested in joining our church, please take a moment to read over the information below.

Important Things to Know about CRBC
- We believe in the “faith that was delivered to the saints once for all (Jude 3)” as revealed to humanity by God in the Bible. Our statement of faith is the Baptist Faith and Message 2000.
- We are a Southern Baptist Church.
- We believe in regenerate church membership (this means you need to be a born again Christian to join our church).
- We believe in holding one another accountable through the practice of church discipline (e.g., Matthew 18).
- Our mission is to obey the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) by being disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.
- We believe evangelism and missions are key aspects to both Christian life and church growth.
Our Membership Expectations
- Attend Regularly
  - We expect our members to attend the Sunday morning worship service, Sunday School, and our monthly member’s meetings.
  - We highly encourage members to attend Sunday evenings and Wednesday evenings.
- Serve Regularly
  - We expect our members to use their God given gifts to serve the church.
- Give Faithfully
  - The New Testament does not command a percentage, but for many people 10% is a good place to start and increase from there as the Lord enables you.
- Grow in Your Relationship with God
  - We expect our members to intentionally pursue a growing relationship with God. This side of heaven, no one will ever become the “perfect” Christian. However, through spiritual habits like prayer, Scripture reading, and participation in the life of the church, we can all deepen our relationship with God.
- Pray Often for the Other Members
  - We encourage our members to pray regularly for one another. One way to do that is by praying through the membership directory.
