If you have been attending a while and have gotten to know us a bit, you might be ready to learn more about membership.
On the other hand, you may not be ready, but are still curious. There is no pressure to join. Many people participate in our church without being a member. Most things we offer are open to the public. When we have a private class or event, we generally advertise that it is only for members.
We offer NEWCOMER CLASSES a few times a year so that you can familiarize yourself with our church.
We have a pamphlets and other information that we can provide you and/or connect you with other members in social settings so that you can get to know each other.
At least twice a year we honor new members during a worship service. People can sign the book at any point during the year after meeting with our Minister, Rev. Karen Armina.
Our Membership Coordinator, Stephanie, is a great resource if you have questions! Contact Stephanie Herrick - [email protected].
