How to Join
You are welcome to worship with us occasionally or regularly before
 making
the decision to become a member of the church. We want you to be sure this
is the right spiritual home for you at this time. Some people actively
participate in church life for years before deciding to join. The decision
is up to you.
The next time we will receive new
members will be November 12, 2008.
Approximately three times a year, during morning worship, we receive new members
into the church. (See the Order for Reception
of Members) A few weeks prior to that, a New Member's Gathering is offered.
The next New Member Gathering will be October 22, 2008. The Pastor is also willing to meet
individually with people who are
interested in the church. |
The New Member's Gathering
is for people who have decided they wish to join the church. The Board of
Membership provides tasty dessert and helps welcome the candidates for
membership. The agenda
 includes:
getting acquainted, information about the church, the rights and
responsibilities of membership, and more.
Requirements for membership are outlined in the church Constitution: "Any person may become a member of this Church who desires to live a Christian
life, has been baptized, and has publicly acknowledged the responsibilities of
Church membership as set forth in the Constitution and Bylaws." If you have not
been baptized, we will arrange for  that sacrament prior to your joining the
church.
The responsibilities of membership are outlined in the church Bylaws: All members, to the extent that they are
able, are expected to: a) attend public worship and share in the Sacraments, fellowship, and
programs of the Church; b) attend the annual meeting of the congregation; c) participate in the affairs of the Church by contributing time and
talent; d) contribute to the financial support of the Church. |
