WHAT IS MEMBERSHIP?
More Than Attending.
Church membership is a commitment to follow Jesus together as part of a local church family. It's about belonging, growing, serving, and joining in the mission God has given The Fold.
When you become a member, you're saying, “I'm in.” You're choosing to walk with this church, contribute to its life, and be part of what God is doing in Gainesville and beyond.
THE PROCESS
Your Path to Membership
Before applying for membership, attend The Fold for at least six months. Completing the Membership Class is also required.
