Membership

Joining First United as a member is an important step in the journey of faith that involves affirming the Christian faith, promising to follow Christ and Christ's example for living, and committing to attend church and to become involved in the church's work and mission.

Persons interested in joining the church should speak with a pastor or church officer. Periodic new members classes are held and led by a pastor and other leadership. Individual meetings with prospective church members are gladly arranged.

Affiliate membership is an option for persons whose primary membership is in another church but who regularly attend First United seasonally.

Persons wishing to join meet with the Session and are received into membership during a Sunday morning worship service.

Some choose to participate regularly in the life of the church but not formally join. All services, ministries and programs, including committee work, are available to such friends of the church, with the exception of the privilege of voting in congregational meetings and holding office.
