How Do I ... ?How to Become a Member of Christ Church If you have been visiting Christ Church and are interested in becoming an official member, these are three easy steps to follow: 1. Contact Rev. John Hill, Minister for Evangelism and Young Adults. You can do this by calling him at 897-6421 (x224), e-mailing him at john@ccum.net, checking the “Wish to Join this Church” box in the Attendance Registration pad at worship, speaking to him in person, or simply coming to the Membership Class. 2. Attend a Membership Class. At Christ Church, we take seriously the vow of membership – to support the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, and service. In order to better understand this vow and to learn more about Christ Church, we offer a Membership Class on the third Sunday of each month from 10:10 to 12:15, typically in Dr. Strunk’s Office (Room 220). We want our new members to be ready to live into the membership vow, so we strongly encourage them to attend this class before joining. In special circumstances a prospective new member may meet privately with one of the pastors on staff in lieu of this class. 3. Our Membership Secretary, Susan Williams, will contact you. She will check to see if you have decided to join the church and to arrange all the details, including setting a date, transferring membership from another church, or scheduling a baptism if you have never been baptized (a pastor will want to meet with you if this is the case). When you join, you will join by one of two methods: 1) Profession or Reaffirmation of Faith if you are not currently a member of another church or 2) Transfer of membership if you are currently a member of another church. We also offer affiliate and associate memberships if you would like to keep your primary membership at another church. We look forward to exploring the possibility of membership and being in ministry with you. Please do not hesitate to contact Rev. John Hill with any questions about the membership process.

How to Schedule:A BaptismCall the Administrative Assistant to the Senior Pastor at 893-2201, ext. 222. She will then
check the calendar for the date in question. The date will be cleared with the
Pastor and then confirmed with the family. Sometimes an appointment is necessary
with the Pastor (especially if the child being baptized is the first such
baptism for the couple) and this will be scheduled at the time the baptism date
is confirmed. An Appointment with the PastorsTo schedule an appointment with Dr. Strunk, please call Leigh
Ray, Administrative Assistant to the Senior Pastor at 893-2201 ext. 222. To

forward this information to the Pastors, children’s director, and membership
secretary to assure that the new child is included in the family information of
the membership files. A rosebud will be placed in the front of the sanctuary
honoring the child on the following Sunday. A Wedding at Christ ChurchWeddings at Christ Church are for members or children of
members. To schedule a wedding, the Pastors' Secretary must first be notified at
893-2201, ext. 222. The secretary will mail a wedding procedure booklet to the
bride. Meeting dates will be made for the Pastor to meet with the bride and
groom. The secretary will then appoint a church coordinator who will meet with
the bride to discuss the wedding policies and fees. The bride and groom will
need to have more than one appointment with the Pastor performing the ceremony.
