What is Membership?
Church is not an event, it's a community!
At Colonial Hills, membership means belonging—to Christ and to a local family of believers. As a member, you have a voice and a vote in important decisions regarding the life and direction of our church. But more than that, church membership is a mutual commitment: the church commits to encourage and support you in your walk with Christ, and you commit to grow, serve, and walk in fellowship with others. Through life together, prayer, and shared mission, we grow stronger together.
More about membership at Colonial Hills
Local church membership should be rooted in your personal relationship with Jesus and a clear biblical foundation. To become a member at Colonial Hills, we ask that you:
- Have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord
- Have been baptized by immersion, as a personal and public profession of your faith
- Are in basic agreement with our church’s beliefs and mission
Becoming a member is simple—and personal. All it takes is a conversation with our pastor. You can talk with him:
- During the response time at the close of either Sunday service
- By phone during the week
- Or even by email—he’s happy to meet you where you are
We’d love to walk alongside you as you take this next step in your faith journey.
Baptism at Colonial Hills
Going public with your faith in Jesus
Baptism is a beautiful step of obedience for anyone who has trusted in Jesus. It’s more than a ritual—it’s a meaningful way to say, “I belong to Christ.” When you’re baptized, you’re following the example and command of Jesus Himself, showing the world that your old life is gone and a new life has begun.
At Colonial Hills, we practice baptism by immersion, which symbolizes being buried with Christ in His death and raised to walk in new life—clean, forgiven, and made new.
Baptism is also a public declaration of your faith. It’s your chance to stand before your church family and say, “Jesus has changed my life.”
Because baptism is such a key part of following Jesus, we ask that everyone who joins our church has been baptized by immersion after making a personal decision to follow Him. If you have questions or are ready to take this step, we’d love to talk with you!
