It is always exciting when folks who have been checking out the church decide they want to attend a New Members class. They are under no obligation as a result of attending but it gives them a chance to find out more about us. The class covers things like what we believe, our history, the things we as a church feel called to and are passionate about. It is a relaxed atmosphere where there is time for sharing and questions and a chance to get to know more about each other.
In the class the membership process is explained. After attending the class each person is given short form to fill out about themselves if they want to go further in the membership process. While church membership is not the same as the decision to give your heart and life to the Lord it is a important decision. Just going to church does not make you a Christian any more than going to McDonalds will make you a hamburger. Our membership is made up of believers who make up the living stones of this spiritual house, or chruch family or community of faith. The decision to align ones self with a church is an important decision because it is the community of believers that you will work arm in arm with to acomplish Gods plans and purposes. It is also a huge channel of blessing and growth that will shape and affect the course of ones life. It is not a decision that one should make lightly and the New Members class is a great opportunity to discover more about First Covenant Church and allows folks to make a much more informed decision.
We offer the New Members class when ever there is a handful of interested people.
