Membership

If you decide to join our church family here at Aldersgate, you will want to talk with our pastor, Rev. Mike Bruce. He will help you consider the meaning of church membership and determine how you may join.
 

There are varied pathways to joining the church. They are as follows:

 

  • Profession of Faith – You publicly profess your faith before God and the congregation. This is for adults who have not been baptized and for young people who have completed a Confirmation class.
     
  • Reaffirmation – This is for baptized adults who are not members of a church. They may publicly reaffirm their faith.
     
  • Transfer of Membership – You transfer your membership to Aldersgate United Methodist Church from another United Methodist congregation or another denomination.
     
  • Affiliate Member – You come to Aldersgate United Methodist Church from another United Methodist Church where you desire to keep your full membership.
     
  • Associate Member – You come to Aldersgate United Methodist Church from another denomination and desire to keep your full membership with that church.
