How do I join the church?
We believe that no one ends up here by accident. After regular worship attendance and interaction with the church family, if you are led to the decision that Macedonia is your spiritual home, let your readiness to join be made known to Pastor Tammy. She will then include you in the next one hour member’s interest session.
After going over the history, theology and practices of the United Methodist Church and over the ministries of Macedonia, candidates for membership will be invited to join by 1 of 3 ways.
- Baptism and profession of faith—this is for those who have not yet been baptized by any other Christian congregation.
- Reaffirmation of Faith—this is for those who have been baptized, but may have been away from the church for a time and are returning to active participation in Christ’s body.
- Transfer—this is for those who have been actively involved in another UM congregation or congregation of another denomination and due to relocation or change in life circumstance wish to now continue their discipleship journey with the people of Macedonia. A letter of transfer will be requested from the previous church.
In all 3 instances, new members will make 5 promises: that of their prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness to Christ’s kingdom through Macedonia UMC.
