THINKING ABOUT BECOMING A MEMBER OF CHRIST CHURCH?
TYPES OF MEMBERSHIP
You can become a member of our congregation 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 welcome Affiliate and Associate memberships if you (or your spouse) would like to keep your primary membership at another church or denomination.
MEMBERSHIP VOWS
At Christ Church, we take the vows of membership seriously — "to support the church with our prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness." We want our new members to be ready to live into the membership vows, so we strongly encourage them to participate in our six-week series of classes entitled "Membership Matters." These classes are held several times each year on held Sunday mornings in the Church Parlor from 10:10 to 11:00 am. (watch Reflections and Sunday to Sunday for dates). The name of this class has a dual meaning. First of all, membership in a church DOES matter and during these six sessions we explore both the value and responsibility of "Belonging" to a church. Secondly, there are "matters" of membership that are important for us to embrace as faithful members of a Christian congregation. Sessions include the following: An introductory meeting with Dr. George Strunk, Senior Pastor; a session on the structure and theology of the United Methodist Church; a session on what it means to live out our mission statement; a session on the vows of church membership; and two sessions on "Participation Matters" - focusing on participation, connection and call.
