I am planning that the morning service on October 17th will include the reception of new members into the church.
Becoming a member is about saying that we are Christians seeking to live our lives according to the teaching of Jesus. It is also about committing ourselves to work with our fellow Christians in a particular locality in carrying out the work of God.
If you would like to become a member of the church please contact me.
Church members meet together in the Church Meeting to make decisions about the life of the church.
The amount of minister time allocated to a church is largely determined by the number of members. Roughly, if a church has 150 members then it is entitled to a full-time minister. The corollary of this is that the amount of money that a church pays into the Mission and Ministry fund of the United Reformed Church depends on the number of members.
By membership of the church we become part of a worldwide fellowship of Christians, and we are part of the body of Christ.
