Want to be a Member?

There are varied pathways for becoming a member

Since all that seek to be members come with different experiences and backgrounds, there are a number of pathways to follow in becoming a member of The United Methodist Church.

• If you have never been baptized and you desire to be a Christian with United Methodist Christians, you will prepare for baptism.
• If you were baptized as an infant or young child and have not made a profession of faith and been confirmed, then you will prepare to reaffirm your baptismal covenant.
• If you are a member of another part of the church (such as Baptist, Presbyterian or Lutheran), then you will want to prepare to transfer your membership from that church to a local United Methodist Church.
• If you are a member of another Christian church that does not transfer membership, you will want to prepare to make a profession of faith and be received as a member.

Talk with theUnited Methodist pastor about the journey of becoming a Christian and a member of The United Methodist Church. He will be able to answer your questions and help you discern what next steps you want to take.
