Mission
Membership

The way we pursue holistic discipleship and participate in the mission of God together.

Committed to
Knowing Him Together

Mission Membership is what we call our formal membership process. It is an intentional step that represents the highest level of commitment to Collective Church as a spiritual family. Mission Members volunteer to hold one another to a higher standard and to be examples of what it means to be responsible followers of Jesus, spiritual family members, stewards, and disciple makers at Collective Church.

Our Foundation & Commission

“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18–20

The Process

  • First, watch our pre-recorded Discover class videos that introduce who we are as a church (Discover Collective), how our theological beliefs guide us (Discover Doctrine), and describe Mission Membership in greater detail (Discover Mission Membership). Reach out to us via email at contact@collectivechurch.com for access to these videos!

  • If you are still interested in becoming a Mission Member after completing the Discover classes, we will invite you to attend three Equipping classes which we offer each quarter in a small group setting. Each class covers two Equipping modules:

    • Responsible Followers of Jesus & Responsible Spiritual Family Members

    • Responsible Stewards & Responsible Disciple Makers

    • Gospel Conversations & Engaging Scripture

  • After completing the Equipping classes, you’ll have a one-on-one meeting with a pastor to discuss any outstanding questions you may have and finalize your Mission Membership.

  • As a Mission Member, you’ll be invited to our bi-annual Mission Member meetings, receive advanced notice on updates in the life of the church, and have a designated pastor who commits to praying for you regularly and checking in on you periodically.

The Purpose

As Mission Members, we endeavor to follow Jesus together, belong as family, and steward our resources as we engage the mission of God.

It is a tool that helps us move people towards what we believe and teach are the biblical marks of a disciple.

It will also help accomplish the following:

  • Align God's people with God's intention for the local church.

  • Give people a tangible way to identify with, and express a commitment to our church family and our shared mission and vision, values, and calling.

  • Affirm a person’s profession of faith.

  • Identify our spiritual brothers and sisters that we are all responsible to and for.

  • Make it clear who the pastors are spiritually responsible for.

  • Set and clarify expectations of one another.

  • Cultivate theological and relational unity.

  • Create discipleship and equipping opportunities.

  • Stimulate spiritual growth.

  • Mobilize people to participate in God’s work.
