Church membership is a vow to your faith and to the church. Northview’s Bylaws set the following standards for members:

CONSTITUTION ARTICLE VI – MEMBERSHIP

Section 1—Membership in our church will be open to all those, eighteen years of age or older, who have placed their faith in Jesus, who embrace its tenets of faith, who agree to be governed by its Constitution and Bylaws, and who are approved for membership by the Elders.

(a) A member is a person who has turned from his/her sin and turned to God by placing his/her faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, acknowledging him as Savior and Lord. (John 1:12-13; 3:3-8; 1Peter 1:18-25)

(b) A member is a person who has declared publicly his/her Christian faith through baptism in water.

(c) A member is a person who embraces our church’s vision, mission, values, and tenets of faith.

(d) A member is a person who supports the ministry of our church with his/her time, talents, and financial resources.

(e) A member is a person who is accountable to church leadership in matters concerning our church.

You can be considered for Northview membership by completing an online application which is then reviewed by your Campus Pastor and forwarded for final approval of the Elder Team. Because the membership process takes a minimum of 30-days, new applications will unfortunately not be approved in time for an applicant to participate in the vote at the August 16th Special Business Meeting.

The online membership application is a 3-step process:

Step 1 – Fill out the membership interest form at https://northviewchurch.us/membershipinterest

Step 2 – Watch the video
