What is the process of church membership?

​

Anyone who wishes to apply for church membership may fill out the form below. It is advised that you also take time to read the church constitution as well, which contains the Membership Covenant. 

Once your application is received, a time will be set to meet with two members of our elder team for an interview. Next, your application will be announced to the congregation for two weeks. Individuals who complete this process successfully will be publicly accepted as members on the third week.
