Expectations of Membership

The expectations of membership are:

To worship regularly
To grow in faith by participating in a small group
To participate in hands-on mission to the congregation, the community, and the world
To reach out in care and hospitality
To grow in generosity through giving to our shared life

Persons may join the church any Sunday by transfer of their membership or by profession of faith in Jesus Christ.

We recognize the Sacrament of Baptism by all Christian churches. Any person who has received a Christian baptism need not be baptized again. Holy Baptism is a Covenant between an individual and God. If you have not been baptized and are ready to take this step, please contact Rev. Janet Forbes, Rev. Pam Rowley, or Lynda Fickling, our Director of Servant Ministry.

To join, simply fill out the membership card located in the “Friendship Pad.” During the "Hymn of Grace" near the end of each Sunday worship service, persons are invited to come forward to be received and welcomed into the family of St. Luke’s. Or you may simply hand the membership card to one of our Pastors at any time.

Persons joining are asked to stay after the service to meet with our Director of Servant Ministry, to be welcomed, give and receive additional information, and have a picture taken.

Although not required, we encourage you to attend our Orientation of St. Luke’s held monthly, to explore St. Luke’s programs, ministry, and missions.

You will be invited to attend a New Member brunch. We will welcome you with food and fellowship and introduce you to our staff.
