Membership
Becoming a Member
- How Do I Become A Member Of Crossroads?
An opportunity is given at the close of each worship service to come forward and meet Michael V. Mallick. At that point he will talk to you briefly regarding your decision. If further discussion is needed, to ask questions or simply find out more about Crossroads, an appointment can be scheduled that is convenient for you. Also, in addition to this option, Michael’s door is always open and is available during the week to speak with you in person. If you have any questions, please call 713-3941.
- Are There Any Requirements For Membership?
Anyone wanting to make a commitment to membership must be willing to surrender his or her life to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This means: (1) Admitting that all people (including you) have sinned - Romans 3:23. (2) Acknowledging that Jesus Christ is God’s only son, that He paid the penalty for your sin by His death on the cross, and that He made it possible for you to have new life through His resurrection - Romans 10:9, Romans 6:23, 2 Corinthians 5:17,21. (3) Totally trusting Jesus Christ by: accepting His free forgiveness, repenting of past and present wrongs, being baptized by immersion into Him, and surrendering your whole life to Him - Acts 2:38, Romans 6.
- If I Have Already Received Christ And Have Been Baptized By Immersion In Another Church, Will I Have To Be Baptized Again To Be A Member Of Crossroads?
No. However, some people who become members choose to be baptized again if they feel their first baptism was for the wrong reason, such as an adult who was baptized as a child because a friend or parent pressured them to do so.
