Frequently Asked Questions
Is it necessary for me at some point to become a member of CVP?
We believe that those who have decided to make CVP their home church should join its membership. We live today in a consumer-based society where the average American "shops" for the church that best matches his or her tastes. When the product doesn't quite live up to expected standards, it is replaced with the product down the street. Membership, by committing the member and church to one another, counters this mentality. When an individual or family joins CVERC, they covenant to submit to the church's leadership and to contribute meaningfully as a member of the Body of Christ. Thus, membership has two good and necessary consequences: 1) it helps discourage the mindset of "I'm just an attendee and therefore I'm not accountable to the Church;" and 2) it helps people understand that they have a vital role to play in the ministry of the local body of believers.
