3) I have not attended the Breakthrough Weekend (BTW), can I be exempted from attending the BTW?
At Covenant EFC, we firmly believe that in disciplemaking, we first need to experience personal transformation. Hence, our membership prerequisite is for Men and Women/Young Adults BTW where we encounter the living God for ourselves, and begin the journey of growth as we break with sin and obstacles that hinder us. If you are facing any difficulties in attending the BTW due to finances or other personal matters please reach out to us at sgi.admin@cefc.org.sg
4) Do I become a member after I attend the membership class?
After the membership class, there will be a meet up session with a church board member to understand your spiritual journey, as well as how you are settling in CEFC. We will introduce new church members to the church during our twice-yearly membership acceptance.
5) I have previously been a church member of another local church. Do I need to attend membership classes?
Yes. It is important for all Covenant members to understand our church Vision, Mission, History, Philosophy of ministry and Discipleship process. We value every person who commits to be part of our spiritual family and therefore our SPOs (Senior Pastors’ Office) are present to meet with our to-be new church members during membership classes.
