There are all kinds of different memberships in our culture. Sometimes membership means a free burrito after buying ten or free 2-day shipping if you pay an annual fee. But in Jesus' church, we believe membership flows out of a relationship. Citylight Council Bluffs Church isn't an organization to affiliate with but a family to belong to!

The Bible teaches that we are members of one another in a church. We are family members connected to Christ and committed to each other. Among Citylight Council Bluffs, we affirm and honor this Bible teaching by regularly inviting attendees to become members in a highly relational, step-by-step process! The steps to becoming a member are:

1. Attend a Membership Class. This class gets into the nuts and bolts of membership. What is it, and why does it matter?
2. Share your story (using the form below) and meet with a pastor. This is part of our effort to keep the process-relational. We want to know the people in our church family, hear their stories, and celebrate what God is doing in their lives!
3. Be commissioned. A few times each year, we bring up new members on a Sunday, celebrate their commitment, and pray for them. No speaking required.

One of the steps to becoming a member is simply clicking the button below to tell us your story! We'd be glad to answer any further questions as well!
