Partnership at Connection Church

Our Church. His Mission.

Partnership is an invitation to make Connection Church your home and our mission your own. It’s not just adding your name to a list—it’s a commitment to follow Jesus, grow alongside others, and use what God has given you to make an impact. 

To get started, take some time to watch the Partnership videos below, review the Partnership Covenant and take a look at our Constitution and Bylaws to get a sense of how our church functions. This should take you around an hour. Afterwards, click on the “Become a Partner” button below to let us know you’d like to continue the process and fill out the needed information.

Once you do that, we’ll help you take any next steps that are necessary and get you scheduled for a Partnership Interview with one of our staff or Elders. 

If you have more questions, please see the FAQ at the bottom of this page.

FAQ

What do I need to do before I become a Partner?
To become a Partner you must meet the following qualifications:
  • Have professed faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
  • Have been baptized in water after professing faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Have completed the Grow Track experience. 
  • Be at least 16 years of age 
  • Have been interviewed by one of our staff or Elders

If you haven’t been baptized in water after deciding to follow Jesus or you haven’t attended our Grow Track, we encourage you to watch the videos and click the button that says you’re interested in becoming a Partner anyway. We will help you get into the environments where you can take those next steps. 

As for the interview, we simply want to get to know you, hear about your journey of faith and baptism, ask about your past church experience, and answer any questions you might have.
Can I transfer my membership from another church?
Since every church is unique, we do not transfer memberships. Our hope is that you would go through the process we have set out so you understand who we are as a church and how we function as a part of God’s kingdom. 
Is Partnership the same as Membership?
In its essence, Partnership and membership are the same. We choose the word Partner because it signifies that each of us have a role to play in Jesus’s mission together. Membership usually connotes benefits that you get when you join a club or organization. Neither word is used in the Scripture but the idea is found all over the New Testament. 
What if I have more questions after watching the videos and reading the Partnership documents?
At the interview, we’ll give you an opportunity to ask any of the questions you have and do our best to answer them. After the interview, you will be able to decide if you want to join the church.
