God never intended that the walk of faith should be a walk alone. His followers are to walk in authentic community with one another. Taking the step to become a member at BCC shows that you are committed to grow these relationships and deepen your connection to the local body of Christ. As a member of BCC, you have a voice in decision-making and election of leaders, and are eligible to join the leadership team upon nomination and selection.

The Browncroft Membership Process

Membership Application As a first step toward membership, prospective members who have a growing faith relationship with Jesus and have been attending Browncroft for at least 6 months are asked to complete a basic online application. This application provides the membership team with biographical information and a basic understanding of God’s converting work in his or her life.  Pending review of this application, the applicant may be extended an invitation to join a membership class.

Membership Class Prospective members next attend our 5-week interactive workshop that explores Browncroft's commitments to our vision, to Christ, to service and to one another.

Elder Recommendation At a regularly scheduled elders’ meeting, the pastor will review the interview notes and the applicant’s testimony with the other elders. Upon receiving their collective approval, the candidate’s application is accepted.

Congregational Affirmation Following elder approval, new members are welcomed by the congregation during  a special Sunday morning worship service.
