| BECOMING A MEMBER |
Step #1 – Attend our Membership Matters Class
Membership Matters is the place to get to know Grace Community Church better. If you're new to the church, or have attended for some time but not explored membership, you are encouraged to check out our Membership Matters class.
Membership Matters will help you get to know our pastors, our beliefs and values, and others who are exploring whether Grace Community Church is the place to make their church home. You'll get to hear from and meet many of our pastors and ask questions.
We believe God accomplishes His purposes as individuals join themselves to and participate in local churches. Membership Matters is designed to help you make a wise and informed decision about your involvement at Grace Community Church. We think you'll thoroughly enjoy the class and find it to be a worthwhile investment of your time.
This class meets once every three months on a Friday, from 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Dinner is provided as well as childcare, if needed. You can call the office to inquire when the next Membership Matters class will meet.
Step #2 – Pastoral Visit
Once you have completed the Membership Matters class you will need to complete the membership application. Then a pastor/elder will visit you to talk to you about your salvation, about membership, and to answer any other questions you might have about Grace Community Church.
Step #3 – New Member Affirmation
At the end of the New Member Class, should you desire to join Grace Church, there will be a time of "new member affirmation." At the conclusion of the morning service, before we dismiss, the Pastor will call your name and ask you to come line up in front of the body. Then he will ask you four questions pertaining to your commitment to this local body as a member of Grace Community Church. The proper response is "I will." The questions are listed below for you to familiarize yourself with. After the brief period of questions, church will be dismissed and the body will come forward to welcome you.
