All In Membership
Church membership is a formal commitment a local body of Christians make to one another to love and disciple each other and live out the Great Commission together under the affirmation and care of the church. In other words, when we officially join a church, we commit to be all in with that faith family of brothers and sisters.
This Spring (April 30, May 7, & May 14), we'll walk through a new sermon series together in our Sunday worship gatherings all about what it means to be ALL IN as members of The Church at Brook Hills loving Jesus, growing in Jesus, and making disciple of Jesus together. Along with this series, we're offering a unique opportunity for anyone not yet a member of Brook Hills to complete our membership process without having to attend a separate membership class.
