Membership Class October 2026
Membership Class: Find Your Place at Commission Church If you’re new to Commission Church and have decided that this is a church community you want to be part of, Membership Class is your next step. Membership is more than having your name on a list. It is a commitment to a local church community, its mission, and the people God has placed around you. Over three Sunday mornings, we’ll talk about who Commission Church is, what we believe, where we’re going, and what it means to belong here. TLDR Membership Class meets October 4, 11, and 18 from 9:00–9:45 a.m. Plan to attend all three classes. This class is for those who are new to Commission Church or want to learn more about committing to our church community and mission. New members will be introduced and celebrated during Worship on Sunday, October 25.SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP CLASS What Is Membership at Commission Church? We believe following Jesus was never meant to be done alone or outside the local church! The local church gives us a community where we can worship together, grow as disciples, serve one another, and participate together in the mission Jesus has given his Church. At Commission Church, our mission is to commission and mobilize passionate followers of Jesus to encounter God, connect with others, and impact our world. Membership is one way of saying, “This is MY church community, and I am committed to participating in our shared mission.” If you’ve been attending Commission Church, getting connected, and believe God may be leading you to make Commission your church home, we’d love for you to join us. What We’ll Cover Our Membership Class takes place over three Sunday mornings, giving us time to talk through several important parts of who we are. Our History: Learn where Commission Church came from and the story God has been writing through our church. Our Mission: Discover why Commission Church exists and how our mission shapes what we do as a church. Our Beliefs: We’ll walk through the core biblical beliefs that define our church, including some of our Assemblies of God and Pentecostal heritage. Our Commitments: Membership means more than attending on Sundays. We’ll talk about what it looks like to commit to one another and participate in Commission Church's life and mission. The Benefits of Membership: We’ll explain what it means to formally belong to Commission Church and the opportunities and benefits that come with membership. There will also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get to know our church better along the way. 📅 Class Schedule Sunday, October 4
9:00–9:45 a.m. Sunday, October 11
9:00–9:45 a.m. Sunday, October 18
9:00–9:45 a.m. 📍 Commission Church
11801 E Bannister Rd, Kansas City, MO 64138 Classes will meet in Room 1 of the Classroom. Because each week covers a different part of membership, participants should plan to attend all three sessions. Is Membership Class for Me? Membership Class is designed for people who are newer to Commission Church or are considering making this their church home. Not sure if you’re ready? Ask yourself: Do I consider Commission Church my church home, or am I moving in that direction? Am I ready to move from simply attending to actively belonging and participating? Do I want to better understand Commission Church’s beliefs, mission, and direction? Do I want to use my gifts, time, and resources alongside others to help accomplish what God has called our church to do? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this class is for you! You don’t need to know everything about Commission Church before signing up. That’s part of why the class exists. Come ready to learn, ask questions, and prayerfully consider what it means to call Commission Church your church. What is required to become a Member of Commission Church? A profession of faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ Participation in the Christian faith evidenced by water baptism Completion of the membership class Completion of the membership covenant and spiritual gifts test 🎉 Celebrating Our New Members Membership isn’t something we want to complete quietly behind the scenes. On Sunday, October 25, we’ll take a portion of our 10:15 a.m. Worship Service to introduce and celebrate our new members as a church family. We want our church to know who is saying yes to making Commission Church their church home, and we want to celebrate that commitment together. Your Next Step If you’re ready to learn more about Commission Church and what it means to move from simply attending toward belonging, participating, and committing to our mission together, sign up for Membership Class. Our first class begins Sunday, October 4 at 9:00 a.m. All you have to do today is sign up. Everyone will receive a copy of their membership covenant, membership packet, and information about the Spiritual Gifts test during the first class on October 4.SIGN UP FOR MEMBERSHIP CLASS
