Membership

We hope you find the simplicity of our membership process an engaging introduction to our life together. Membership is the first step in what we consider a life-long process of discipleship, and we invite you to join us on the journey. Becoming a member affirms your faith in God and love for God’s people. Membership is a commitment to this particular part of God’s family, where we nurture growth in faith, worship, and service to others.

Four Steps to Becoming a Member

one Fill out and turn in a New Member Information form. You will find the forms on the Visitor Information table in the narthex.
two Come to the parlor after the 10:50am worship service on the last Sunday of the month. The session, our governing body, formally receives new members at that time. We receive new members in one of the following ways: Letter of Transfer, Reaffirmation of Faith, or Profession of Faith and Baptism.*
three Join us during the 10:50 worship service the following Sunday (first Sunday of the month), when we recognize our new members during the service.
four We encourage all new members to participate in an Inquirer’s class, which is offered every other month during the year. You will find the schedule at the Visitor Information table; it’s also available on our website: www.saint-andrew.com.

Sometime during the quarter after becoming a new member you will be invited to a new member dinner hosted by Steve and Margaret Plunkett with the help of the Membership committee. We look forward to these occasions to become better acquainted with each other through fellowship around the dining table
