Joining our Congregation.
When you decide to join this church it will be a big moment for you, and for
us. We have a responsibility to see that you are made welcome and that you
find a place in our midst where you can make friends and continue your spiritual
journey. In return, we ask that you make an effort to become involved in the
church in ways that are meaningful for you. We ask you three things: 1) that
you find a small group here that feeds your soul, 2) that you join in the work
of a committee or project of your choosing, (many hands make lighter and more
fun the work), and 3) that you support the church as you are able with your
financial gifts. When you are ready to join, feel free to contact a member
of the Membership Committee or the Minister.
The suggested membership process
is this:
- Meet with the minister for a discussion about the church, what you would like
from it, what you would like to offer to it, and where you might begin to fit
in.
- Attend an orientation for newcomers – not mandatory
but strongly recommended.
- Participate in a New Member Recognition where you will be officially welcomed
into the church, and along with other new members, sign the membership book.
You are considered a member with full voting privileges
when you go through these steps and make a financial contribution that is
recorded in your name.
We ask that members consider working toward a goal of 3 to 5 percent of income.
Also nonmembers who wish to be “friends of the church” will be
asked to make a financial pledge. Please know that you are welcome whatever
you can give. Please inquire at the office on Sunday morning before church
starts, or call the office at 282-0062 for more information.
Welcome to the experience of this exciting church community! |
