Membership at Messiah

Interested in becoming a member of Messiah Lutheran Church? Anyone desiring membership, regardless of previous church affiliation, is required to attend the Discovery Class (Part I) and the Membership at Messiah class (Part II). Contact the Church Office if you'd like to register for an upcoming class. Please provide your names, contact information, and, if child care is required, the first names and ages of your children.

The Discovery Class (Part I) is a six-week series providing a deeper understanding of the Christian Faith. The class is useful both as a basic introduction to Christianity and as a terrific review of the fundamentals of Lutheran doctrine. Each class session offers instruction from the Word of God, excellent opportunities to make new friends in Christ, and a great chance to find out more about our ministry at together at Messiah.

In addition to the Discovery Class, those desiring membership are asked to participate in a helpful two-hour class class called Membership at Messiah (Part II). The class is designed to provide all of the information necessary to make the decision whether or not to join our church. The class covers the following topics:

• A history of Messiah as a congregation and how God has blessed us;
• An overview of what we believe;
• An introduction to our staff and their areas of responsibility;
• A tour of Messiah's facilities;
• What benefits a member can expect from Messiah after joining;
• The expectations Messiah has of its members;
• An introduction to Messiah's programs and ministries;
• Our vision and goals as a congregation; and
• An opportunity for questions and feedback.
