When you decide to join this church
it will be a big moment for you, and for us.
We have a responsibility to see that
you are made welcome and that you find a place in our midst where you can make
friends and continue your spiritual journey.
In return, we ask that you make an effort to become involved in the church in ways that are meaningful for you. We ask three things: 1) that you find a small group here that feeds your soul, 2) that you join in the work of a committee of your choosing (many hands make quick work), and 3) that you support the church as you are able with your financial gifts.
When you are ready to join, feel free to contact a member of the Membership Committee. The suggested membership process is this:
- Meet with a minister for a
brief discussion about the church, what you'd like
from it, and where you might fit in.
- Attend an orientation series for
newcomers called Roots. It's not
mandatory but strongly recommended.
- Participate in a New Member
Ceremony where you will be officially welcomed into the church and introduced, along with other new members.
- Sign the membership book.
- A member with full voting privileges is one who has made a financial contribution of record. You will be asked to make a financial pledge in support of the church. We ask that members consider working toward a goal of 3 to 5 percent of income. Please know that you are welcome whatever you can give.
Please inquire at the Information Desk on Sundays for further information, or call the church office at 214-528-3990.
Note: Becoming a member is not absolutely required, but we encourage it. Remember that only members can vote in congregational elections. And only members are counted by the denomination in its annual survey. The more actual members we have, the more influence we can have as a liberal religious body in our own community and in the world.
