Become a Member of In Focus Church
At In Focus Church, we believe that membership is more than just attending services—it’s about belonging to a spiritual family and growing together in faith. Whether this is your first time formally joining a church or you've been a member elsewhere, this class will help you understand who we are, what we believe, and what it means to be an active, committed part of this church family.

Next Steps: From Class to Commitment
Completing the Membership Class is just the beginning!
✔ Meet & Greets with Pastors and Leaders—After finishing all three required sessions, we invite you to attend at least two meet & greets where you’ll connect one-on-one with our pastors and leaders. These gatherings are designed to help you integrate into the church family, ask questions, and receive guidance as you take the next steps to becoming an In Focus Church member.
✔ Commitment Form—When you’re ready, you’ll have the opportunity to sign a Commitment Form, indicating that you’re actively applying what you’ve learned in class—committing to being an engaged, growing, and contributing member of In Focus Church. If you’re not ready to sign the commitment form, no problem! You can wait to schedule further meet-and-greets until you are prepared to indicate that you’re applying what you’ve learned.
✔ Get Connected – Beyond membership, we want to help you find your place in the church—whether through small groups, serve teams, or ministry opportunities that align with your gifts and passions.

Why Membership Matters
Being part of a local church means being fully engaged—not just attending but actively participating, building relationships, and growing together. We are called to commit to one another, encourage each other, and work together for the glory of God. (Hebrews 10:25, Romans 12:13-16)
