How to join the church:
- Speak to the Pastor about how God is leading you. Start today by e-mailing her at mailto:[email protected]
- Meet with Church Elders who will talk to you about your beliefs and explore with you your sense of calling.
- You need to be baptized. Most people have already been baptized in other churches.
- Prepare to promise that you: Claim Jesus Christ as your Savior, Renounce sin and evil with your reliance on Jesus Christ for grace, Uphold the work and ministry of God's church. You can begin by reading this basic affirmation of faith, called The Apostle's Creed and discuss it with the minister.
- These vows (and baptism, if needed) are made publicly before the church during Sunday worship, when you are then received and welcomed as the newest member of the church.
- As a member, you will be asked to help out, serve in leadership, provide your thoughts and ideas on the needs of the congregation. If necessary, you may be asked to complete a Time and Talent Survey.
