                                                                                    Believers in Christ are called to carry out their faith experience as members of Christ’s body, the church (1 Corinthians 12:27). The power of Christ to unite us in service and worship prepares us to be eternal members of His kingdom.

                                                                                    Church membership is an essential and important step for every believer. It should be prayerfully considered and entered into with a full understanding of the commitment required.

                                                                                    The path to membership at St. John’s involves:
                                                                                    • Meeting with the pastor
                                                                                    • A profession of faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior
                                                                                    • Completion, before or after a new member is received, of the Basic Christian Discipleship Class (a seven session program)
                                                                                    • A pledge before the congregation to bring your “prayers, presence, gifts and service”

                                                                                    If you are being called to unite as a member with St. John’s, don’t hesitate to contact Pastor Tom.

                                                                                    Basic Christian Discipleship Course

                                                                                    Picture
                                                                                    This plaque is in someone’s home and reads:

                                                                                    “Our family is a circle of strength and love.
                                                                                    With every birth and every union, the circle grows.
                                                                                    Every joy shared adds more love.
                                                                                    Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger.
                                                                                    And we’re thankful to be part of such a family."

                                                                                    If you have been attending St. John’s for several weeks or perhaps months, we would like to invite you to join St. John’s family.  We are glad you are here and want to extend an invitation to you to officially belong to our family; to become a part of our circle.  Just like when someone becomes a member of a family through marriage or adoption, we want you to know that you are special to us, and we want you to belong.

                                                                                    If you are interested in joining St. John’s, contact Pastor Tom. We look forward to hearing from you.
