COS Membership

God has committed Himself entirely to His children through Jesus. We believe that His desire for us is that we commit to love one another as family in community. We believe this is why God established his church. As a church, we ask our people to commit to one another in membership because we believe it honors God, it is good for the individual and good for the church. Our desire is that each member would grow spiritually, connect relationally and use their gifts to build God’s Kingdom.
