UUMC Membership
• If you have never been a member of any church, you can join formally through baptism, and become a member of UUMC by a “Profession of Faith.”
• If you have been an active member at another Methodist church or a church of another denomination, you can join by a “Transfer of Membership.”
• If you have professed your faith and been a member of another church of any denomination, but have not been active for a while, you can become a member of UUMC by a “Re-Affirmation of Faith.”
• If you wish to retain your membership in another United Methodist church, but also join UUMC, you can join as an “Affiliate Member.
• If you wish to retain your membership in a church of another denomination, you can join as an Associate Member. (Students who belong to a church in their home town are invited to take advantage of the Affiliate or Associate options.)
Please indicate your desire to join by checking the appropriate items on the Visitor’s Sheet in the registration booklet located in the pews.
Together in Christ: An Introduction to Church Membership
Together in Christ is a short course for visitors and new members on the meaning and practice of church membership. Over four sessions, leaders of the church explain in detail God’s grace, our response in faith, the function of the national and local United Methodist Church, how to join the church and membership benefits.
