Break


 

Your story


Each new member will have five minutes to present their story of salvation.

 

After Class


You will be asked to sign the Church Covenant statement. Then your leader will recommend you for membership if they feel that is the best next step. If you expressed any concerns and/or had questions during the class, your leader will set up a time to meet with you.

 

Celebration


At the next worship service, we will present you as a candidate for membership where you will be voted on by the church body. Once you are affirmed as a member, you will get an email that the process has been completed. At that time, your profile will be changed to “member.”
