Becoming a Member

Why join a church?

When we become followers of Christ,
God makes us part of his larger family.
As a family member, you receive privileges:
fellowship, inspiring worship, and spiritual growth.
God also asks you to be responsible:
by giving, serving, and participating in the
life of a local church as well.

How do I become a member?

Please call our church office to meet with Pastor Michael to discuss your desire to become a member.  You may participate in our Membership Pathways Class to learn more about our beliefs and how our church functions.  Those desiring to join will be presented for membership during the Sunday morning Worship Service.
