We receive new members through (1) a
credible and public profession of faith, (2) a public reaffirmation of
faith, or (3) a letter transfer received from a church of like faith
and practice.
If you are interested in joining our church, please familiarize
yourself with our membership vows and then contact Pastor McShaffrey.
1. Do you believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments,
to be the Word of God, and its doctrine of salvation to be the perfect
and only true doctrine of salvation?
2. Do you believe in one living and true God, in whom eternally there
are three distinct persons—God the Father, God the Son, and God the
Holy Spirit—who are the same in being and equal in power and glory, and
that Jesus Christ is God the Son, come in the flesh?
3. Do you confess that because of your sinfulness you abhor and humble
yourself before God, that you repent of your sin, and that you trust
for salvation not in yourself but in Jesus Christ alone?
4. Do you acknowledge Jesus Christ as your sovereign Lord, and do you
promise that, in reliance on the grace of God, you will serve him with
all that is in you, forsake the world, resist the devil, put to death
your sinful deeds and desires, and lead a godly life?
5. Do you promise to participate faithfully in this church's worship
and service, to submit in the Lord to its government, and to heed its
discipline, even in case you should be found delinquent in doctrine or
life?
