How Do I Join?

Joining in membership is a wonderful way of deepening your relationship with God through Jesus Christ by committing yourself to the mission and ministry of the local church.  We are pleased that you are considering this option and want to help answer your questions.

 

Our adult membership process is followed for all incoming members, whether professing your faith for the first time or transferring your membership from another congregation.

 

1.  Starting Points.  This is an all-day session that is typically scheduled on Saturday, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM with lunch provided.  This session is  taught by the pastor.  Childcare will be available if requested in advance.  The session topics discussed are: 

  • Essentials of the Christian Faith
  • The Roots & History of Methodism
  • The Theology and Doctrine of The United Methodist Church
  • Exploring Ministry & Discipleship at Christ Church
  • The Meaning of Membership, Membership Vows and the Christ Church Covenant

2.  Orientation.  We spend time sharing a bit about ourselves personally and our faith walk.   During the day there is some opportunity to meet our leadership.  You also get a personal tour of our facilities. 

 

3.  Membership Sunday.  Upon the successful completion of the membership process, you will be received into membership during whichever worship service you normally attend.  You will be asked to affirm your commitment to Christ and the Church through membership vows and the signing of the Christ Church Covenant.  You will not be expected to give a personal testimony before the congregation.  There will be a reception following the church service for the congregation to welcome you into membership.
