How to Become a Member of Christ Church

We rejoice that you are exploring opportunities for Christian growth with us. Making a beginning at Christ Church does not necessarily involve a membership commitment. We want Christ Church to be a safe place for people to explore what is truly involved in a Christian commitment before making one. However, if that commitment is something you are ready to register, then you may be guided by the following information.

  ~Baptized Membership: Adults not already baptized may join our church by making a profession of faith in Jesus Christ, followed by Baptism. “One Lord, one faith, one baptism…” (Ephesians 4:4).  The Episcopal Church does not “rebaptize.”  If you have already been baptized with water  in the name of the Trinity, you may join by having a record of baptism sent from your former Christian church, regardless of the denomination.

~Confirmed Membership: Confirmation is actually the completion of the original baptismal rite as practiced by the early Church. The earliest Christians formalized their complete entry into the fellowship, mission, and ministry of the Church by being baptized with water, then being sealed as Christ's own with the mark of the Cross made with oil upon their foreheads, and, finally, coming under the hands of an Apostle, or later a Bishop in the line of Apostolic succession, who prayed for them to receive the power of the Holy Spirit for the ministry of their life in the world. To become a confirmed Episcopalian (prior to the visitation of our Bishop) one attends the series of Inquirer’s Classes that precede his arrival.
