Membership Class

Discipleship, Baptism, & Membership Class:

WHY, Discipleship, Baptism and Church Membership?

Discipleship (behaving): All who want to come after me must say no to themselves, take up their cross daily & follow me” (Luke 9:23). “The believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to the community, to their shared meals, & to their prayers.” (Acts 2:42)

Baptism (believing): It was modeled by Jesus & the early church. It is a public confession of faith. It is a symbol of dying to self & rebirth into the family of God.

Membership (belonging): “So now you are no longer strangers & aliens. Rather, you are fellow citizens with God’s people & you belong to God’s household” (Eph 2:19). As members of God’s household, we “carry each other’s burdens” (Gal 6:2), “submit to one another out of respect for Christ” (Eph 5:21), and discover, grow and share our spiritual gifts in our church community (1 Cor 12:4-7).

 

Our deacons are planning discipleship, baptism &church membership class with a starting date of January 11, The duration of the class will be 9 weeks, .. This class will be of interest to all who, having claimed Jesus as Lord &Savior, wish to follow him in baptism, or who, having received baptism & confirmation in another church tradition, wish to be received into membership in our congregation. Persons wishing to explore Jesus’s call to follow him but not yet ready to commit to baptism/church membership,  are also warmly invited to participate.

For further information or to indicate interest, you are invited to contact one of the deacons, Aileen Peters, Harold Retzlaff, or Patrick Kossmann (also Marvin Baergen).
