Want to Become a Member of Carismah Church?
Becoming a member is saying, “This is my family in the faith.” It’s a commitment we make together to follow Jesus, care for one another, and serve our city. It isn’t a club or a box to check: it’s taking one more step into God’s family.
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household
— Ephesians 2:19 · NIV
The Journey, Step by Step
Step 1
Come and get to know us
Join us for Sunday worship and the life of the church. There’s no rush: we want you to get to know us and feel at home.
Step 2
Membership class (4 sessions)
We talk about who we are, what we believe, how we live as a church, and how you can grow and serve. It’s a space to ask anything freely.
Step 3
A conversation with the pastors
A personal conversation to hear your story, listen to how God has been at work in your life, and pray together.
Step 4
Welcome to the family!
One Sunday, we introduce you to the church. Depending on your story, you’ll publicly profess your faith, be baptized, or be received from your previous church. Then we celebrate together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be baptized?
Not to begin the journey. If you haven’t been baptized yet, we’ll walk with you through that step as part of the process.
I’m coming from another church. What should I do?
Welcome! You’ll take the class too. If your previous church can send us a letter of recommendation, we’ll help you with that step.
What about my children?
Children of members are part of the church family from an early age. When they grow up and decide to follow Christ for themselves, they make their own profession of faith.
Does membership ask anything of me?
Yes: the same things all of us commit to—seeking God, loving the church, serving with your gifts, and supporting the mission generously. And the church commits to caring for you, teaching you, and walking alongside you.
