Membership of the Churches grew over the years. Since 1975, over three thousand souls had been baptized.

Full time Preaching in three congregations resulted in baptisms at an average of 7 per month. The Der-am church of Christ in Diffun Quirino, Cordon Church of Christ in Cordon, Isabela and the Villaros church of Christ in Bagabag Nueva Vizcaya are growing in number.

Those whose faith have waned have been constantly visited that result in their restoration and renewal of faith.

Due however to seeking of livelihood… some members move to other places to look for greener pastures.
