Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)
What happens if I do not meet the attendance requirements for worship services or Growth Group participation?

​

If you do not meet the required attendance criteria for on-site worship at CCMC and/or active participation in a Growth Group, you may still receive the sacrament of baptism but will not be received into church membership. 

 

If you fulfil the attendance requirements within two (2) years of completing the Baptism & Membership (BAM) Course, you may be received into membership at a subsequent Membership Reception without having to retake the course. 

 

However, if the attendance requirements are not met within two (2) years of completing the BAM Course, you will be required to retake the entire course before being eligible for membership.​​
