WHY JOIN CHURCH ON PURPOSE

• It unites you with other believers to impact this region for Christ.
• It gives you the chance to fulfill your God given purpose and divine destiny.

• It provides accountability, opportunity and community for you and your family.
• You become God’s representative to society, by joining us as we work to help fulfill God’s plan of redemption for mankind.

1. A personal profession of Christ as Lord and Savior.
2. Baptism by immersion as a public symbol of one’s faith. 
3. Completion of the membership class. 
4. A signed commitment to abide by C.O.P’s membership covenant. 
5. Becomes a faithful tither and share your gifts by joining one of C.O.P.’s many ministries.

If you would like to be a part of one of the many ministries’ at C.O.P, please sign up at the volunteer desk in the foyer. If you do not know where that is, you can find out by asking any of the leaders in the church.

The first thing you do is begin to attend regularly. This is so that you can be around fellow believers and around the word of God. Also we recommend you join one of our small groups in order to be developed into the man or woman God is calling you to be.

If you are coming from a different church, we are elated that you are joining us. Our prayer is that you left in good standing with your last place of worship.

The proper way to leave any church for whatever reason is to be released by the spiritual head of the church. Prior to joining C.O.P make sure you have contacted your previous pastor and discussed your transition with him/her either in writing or person to person.
