Membership

Though we are many, we form one body in Christ.

Romans 12:5

Membership isn’t just about joining a church—it’s about belonging to a community shaped by grace, committed to growth, and united in mission. At Cridersville Church of the Nazarene, we believe in walking together in faith, serving with purpose, and living out the call to Christlike discipleship.
Whether you’re new to faith or ready to take the next step, we invite you to explore what it means to be part of our church family.
Let’s grow together. Let’s serve together. Let’s belong.

Rev. Jonathon Spyker

"Welcome to discovering the dynamics of being part of the body of Christ. All of us desire to be part of something good, something positive where, together with others, we can grow personally and have an impact on our world."

Rhen Biggs

"As we journey together, membership becomes more than a step—it’s a shared commitment to love deeply, serve faithfully, and grow intentionally. You’re not just joining a church; you’re becoming part of a movement shaped by grace and rooted in Christ’s love."
