MEMBERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES Builders Fellowship – The Builders Fellowship has been in existence since the late 1970s with one goal: to assist new CP churches by providing financial resources to construct or purchase their first building and, in special cases, to assist in purchasing property. Builders Fellowship membership consists of no more than three calls per year ($50.00/call) for a specific new church project. Builders Fellowship membership has declined over the last decade, yet the need among new church developments to have a facility has increased. Enrolling new members will alleviate the financial burden and reduce debt to a mortgage company and/or to the Board of Stewardship, Foundation and Benefits allowing the new church to do ministry. In 2016 the following churches
