Are you interested in becoming a member of
Your Community Church?
You may ask the question: What is Church Membership and is it required?
Answer: Membership is a formal, yet optional, relationship between a local church and a Christian’s submission to living out his or her discipleship in the care of that church.
A person may present themselves for membership in any of the following ways:
1) Profession of Faith and Baptism
This is when a person is making their first public, adult profession of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior. This does not necessarily mean that you are just becoming a believer at the time, but that you are now making your decision public, requesting baptism and membership.
2) Transfer of Letter
This is where a person is already a member of another like-minded church. Our church will request a letter from that church, confirming that the person seeking membership is in fact a member in good standing. Transfer means that you are already a member of another church, and are simply wanting to move your membership to our church. We understand and recognize that not all churches have “membership” and that you may just simply be joining our church without an official transfer.
3) Statement of Faith
This option is for those who are neither making a first-time profession of faith OR coming from another church. New members in this category are simply saying, “I’m not a new Christian, and I don’t have a current church membership, but I want to be a member of this church.”
