Welcome!
What’s distinctive about us?
The United Methodist Church is not a creedal church that requires members to subscribe to a closely detailed system of beliefs. The only requirements for church membership is a personal belief in Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior and a commitment to support Christ’s Church by your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

How do I join?

How do Methodists understand Baptism?
Baptism is one of two sacraments celebrated in the Untied Methodist Church (the other being Communion. A sacrament is an outward and visible sign of God’s invisible and spiritual grace.) In our Baptism God cleanses us of our sins; God claims us and makes us Children of God. Through God’s claiming we become heirs of all the promises of God. Finally, Baptism places us in the community of faith; so
Baptism is how we become members of Christ’s Church.
Do I have to be Baptized when I join the Church?
If you have already been baptized, then there is no need to be baptized again. Joining members will be asked to faithfully respond to these questions:
- By Transferring your membership from your current church.
- By Profession of Faith: declaring your belief in Jesus Christ and committing to support Christ’s church. A second baptism is NOT necessary, but if you have never been baptized, please contact the Pastor to make arrangements.
- By Restoration: for former members of this congregation who wish to renew their commitment to Christ’s Church.

- 2) Will you support the ministries of Christ’s Church by your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness? If you have never been baptized, or would like to baptize your child, please contact the Pastor to make these special arrangements.
