MEMBERSHIP
The Church is called to Covenant Membership.
Biblically speaking, there is no such thing as "going to church." You ARE the church!
If you commit your life to Jesus, you commit your life to his body, the church.
If this is you, then your next step is to attend a Membership Class! This class prepares individuals for membership at Resonate, which represents a greater commitment to Jesus and the local church body.
The goals of Membership Class are:
1. To help you understand what Resonate believes.
2. To help you understand Resonate's mission.
3. To help you understand Resonate's cultural DNA.
4. To help you understand what a membership covenant is.
5. To enable you to decide if you want to pursue membership with Resonate.

MEMBERSHIP FAQs
Who is Membership Class for?
This class is for followers of Jesus who are ready to take their next step into living on mission with Resonate Church, and those who are ready to learn more about Resonate's theology, mission, and cultural DNA.
What will Membership Class look like?
The Membership Class occurs about 2-3 times per year, and is usually held on a Saturday morning. The structure is a combination of large group teaching (led by a Ministry Leader), and small group table discussions. This format leads everyone through the details of Resonate's theology, mission, cultural DNA, and more, and allows space for in-depth questions, too.
Are my children/teenagers able to come?
Childcare is provided for families that register for it in advance, for ages 2-11 years old.
Teenagers are able to attend if parents believe that the experience would be edifying for their spiritual journey, but church membership is reserved for consenting adults, so we do not affirm membership for anyone under the age of 18.
