Here in Brighton Community Church, we believe that participating and staying committed to a functioning CG is one of the best ways to grow in our faith and to draw nearer to the Lord. It provides an environment for us to support and encourage each other. The CG is a safe place where we can choose to be vulnerable and provide ministry to each other.
As we enter the next lap of church growth, it is time to enter a new season of community building. We want to move in a direction that increases participation and enhances the overall CG experience.
2. Attend a BELONG class
This is a one-session lesson that teaches the biblical basics of Christian community and explains how you can play your part to help your CG become a winning team. We will conduct BELONG classes twice a year, around every August and February.
3. Affirm your membership annually
Every year in March, there will be a CG membership renewal event, where existing members will affirm, meaning to recommit themselves to the CG, should they want to stay on as CG members.
CG Membership Requirements
There are qualitative and quantitative qualities that contribute to the improvement of the CG experience. These will be covered comprehensively in the BELONG class. However, it is important to highlight 2 core requirements here:
1. Attend 65% of CG meetings in person.
2. Attend 50% of church services in person
Annual Renewal for CG Membership
CG Membership is renewed annually in March at our Annual CG Membership Renewal. Members who wish to renew their membership are required to fulfill the membership requirements of Sunday service and CG attendance.
*Should members wish to renew their membership but do not meet the membership requirements, they will need to re-attend the BELONG class.
**Members who do not have a valid CG Membership can start attending CG again after they attend the next BELONG class and sign the CG Membership covenant.
The CG Membership will span across all the CGs in Young Adults Zone, Brighton Adults Zone, Brighton Family Zone and in part in the Chinese Service and Youth Service. The details are as follows below:
1. Chinese Ministry
The Chinese Ministry is currently made up of the Chinese Adult fellowship and the Chinese Evergreen fellowship. The Chinese Adult fellowship is currently made-up of members below the age of 60.
All members from the age of 60 onwards will join an Evergreen Fellowship.
The Evergreen CG will be officially renamed as Evergreen Fellowship. We positioned the fellowship in preparation to reach more friends and family members aged 60 and up.
They are not part of the CG system and do not have to meet the CG Membership requirements.
All Evergreen members and friends will be automatically assigned to the Evergreen Fellowship.
The CG membership requirements will be applied to the existing Chinese Adult fellowship and members above 60 years of age who choose to opt-in to a CG.
2. Youth Ministry
The implementation of the CG membership system in the Youth Ministry is essential and will be tiered to match the different responsibilities and expectations for the different age groups. The 2 main age-group segregations in the Youth Ministry is Secondary and Tertiary.
Youths Secondary 4 and below will be automatically assigned to a CG and the CG Membership system does not apply to them.
CG Membership system will apply to Youths in the Tertiary group.
BELONG class will be held in November every year. The requirements to be upheld are:
65% CG attendance and 50% youth service attendance.
This is a transition to introduce the responsibility of commitment to the Youth Ministry and mark their transition to the new phase of life towards the Young Adult Ministry.
