"So in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others."                                                                                                                                             (Romans 12:5)

Christians were never meant to live out their faith isolated from each other. They are called to look after each other in love and that’s what being part of the body of Christ is all about - living and loving in community. Church membership is about getting off of the sidelines and getting involved.

We believe that every Christian should belong to a local church and take ownership in that church. Ownership includes serving, giving, and participating in the biblical community that is The Body of Christ.

Why Membership?

Church membership places a person into a relationship of love and responsibility with others. This responsibility may include accountability but it is also expressed through acts of service and compassion and the willingness for self-sacrifice. Church members are family members who practice self-giving and minister to the needs of each other.

Being a church member additionally means uniting with a group of other Christians to accomplish bigger things than any Christian could do alone. By giving financially, volunteering personally, and committing wholeheartedly to a shared vision, church members can, with the help of the Holy Spirit, bring lasting change to many lives outside the church. Along with sharing of the Gospel, a church can be a dramatic means of transformation in society, locally and internationally.

Church membership has much to offer those who follow Christ. Becoming a member of a church is one of the first acts new Christians can do to align themselves with other believers. Trusting Christ personally with salvation becomes more meaningful when people truly commit themselves to following Christ and acting on that commitment.

We believe that Church membership is both an honour and a privilege. Therefore, we offer Membership classes where you’ll learn the vision and values of Cornerstone Church of The Nazarene. We’ll explain our history, mission, beliefs, core values, and how you can be a part of the vision of Cornerstone.

If you’re interested in becoming an member, our Membership class is for you! This class is a requirement for Membership. At the end of the class, and before the entire congregation, you’ll have the opportunity to become a member of Cornerstone Church of The Nazarene.

If you would like to become a memeber of Cornerstone Church of The Nazarene please speak with one of the pastos on Sunday morning or contact the office on 011 766-4119 or email at office@cornerstonenazarene.org.za or fill in the online application below.
