FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

#9 How can I become a member of First United Methodist Church?

Step 1:

Contact one of the pastors or mark on the attendance pad during one of the worship services or contact us at the church office and indicate that you "Wish to Join First Church".

Step 2:

A visit will be arranged with one of our pastors to discuss the Methodist vows and ask/answer any questions you may have about the meaning and significance of church membership

Step 3:

If you have not received Christian baptism, you will be asked to choose one of our worship services on a date which is convenient to you and others you wish to be present.  If you have already been baptized in any Christian church you will not be baptized again.

Step 4:

Once all the above steps have been taken, the pastor will present several options as to how you may receive the vows of membership.  Our first preference would be for you to join the church during a worship service where you can be recognized and welcomed as a new member of First Church.  However, some people wish to do this in a more casual and private setting followed by a public announcement during a worship service and in our newsletter.
