The Weekender: Membership Course


The Weekender is for those who are interested in exploring more of who we are as City on a Hill Church and also serves as our Membership Course. In this fun and fast-paced weekend, we hear from our pastor and key leaders as they explore our vision, mission, values, beliefs, strategies, partnerships and more.

It’s geared for those who want to move beyond attendance and desire to connect to the ministries of the church. Attending The Weekender is a prerequisite to becoming a Member of City on a Hill Church in Brighton, but The Weekender attendees are not required to become covenant Members. We encourage anyone who has visited with us to sign-up for this free weekend experience.

The Weekender will start Friday night where attendees get a clear vision for who we are as a church as we cover session 1 of The Weekender material. On Saturday morning, you'll cover sessions 2 and 3 of this material and learn about the theological beliefs of our church, what membership is all about, avenues for growing in your relationship with God, and how to get further connected with our church. On Sunday, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about serving at CoaH Brighton and even shadow a specific service area. Look below for the full schedule for the weekend and to register!
