Becoming a member of St. Paul’s means you are ready to make a commitment to follow Christ and to participate faithfully in the life of the church.There are two ways to join the church: by transfer of membership from another church, or by profession of faith and baptism.
Baptism is required in order to join the United Methodist Church. We recognize all baptisms in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit that involve water and are performed by someone authorized by that denomination to baptize. Those wishing to join who have not been baptized can be on the day of joining.
In the membership vows, you promise to participate together with us through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. Everyone who St. Paul's encounters shapes our community, but only members have entered into this covenant. Your vows are witnessed by the congregation who promises to support you as we grow in faith together.
How do I join?
If you are ready to become a member of St. Paul’s, please fill out your information in the form below so we can connect with you. Sarah Patlan, our Membership Coodinator, will help you enroll in the next Discover & Connect class (held quarterly). After the class, you will be invited to take your membership vows with the congregation at the following Sunday worship service.
Not ready to Join?
There is no rush! Spend time in community and prayer. Worship with us, grow in faith with others through small groups, engage in mission, and amplify the hospitality that you encounter here. You can also learn more about St. Paul's at the Welcome Table or by having Coffee with the Pastors.
