We believe in the powerful potential of a grassroots movement. Our history and our tradition have taught us that whenever two or more are gathered in Christ's name, Christ's own Spirit is in our midst.  Membership in CORPUS entitles you to free access to our quarterly online journal, CORPUS Reports.  If you share our vision and would like to help renew our Church, please consider becoming a member.  Click here for more information.
