Become A Member
The best way to get involved with our church as a Christian is to join in membership. Being a member at a local church is simply how Christians meaningfully express their membership in the Church universal. As we join together, we make the gospel visible in our city and show what God is like. We would love for you to join us.
HOW TO JOIN:
Membership Class
The membership class provides you with an opportunity for you to get to know who we are as a church. The class is taught in four sessions:
- What is my testimony of faith in Jesus Christ?
- Why join a church?
- What do we believe? (Statement of Faith)
- How do we live out our faith together? (Church Covenant)
While there is no obligation to join, the membership class is required for membership. The membership class is conversational, allowing you to ask questions along the way.
For more information, contact Howard Gunning (Elder) or let the church office know by phone or email.
Membership Interview
Once you have attended the membership class and given your intention to join as a member, we’ll schedule a membership interview for you with one of our pastors and elder. This provides us with an opportunity to hear your testimony and affirmation of the gospel. This also provides the opportunity for you to ask us questions as well. The membership interview usually lasts about an hour.
Elder Recommendation
The elders review all membership applications at their regular elder meetings. With their collective approval, the application will be moved forward for church affirmation.
Church Affirmation
New members will be affirmed by the church body at a regular worship gathering. This affirmation provides the congregation an opportunity to welcome you into the fellowship.
