Membership

Home | Membership |

One becomes an active member of the church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and public profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into active membership.

Becoming a Member

People may become active members in one of three ways:

Profession of Faith - those who have not been baptized and/or who have never been active members of a Christian church.
Reaffirmation of Faith - those who have at one time been members of a Christian church and are currently inactive.
Letter of Transfer - those who are currently active members of another Christian church.

Enquiry and Orientation

People who wish to join must attend the New Member Enquirers Class. This program focuses on the beliefs, history, worship and mission of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The orientation concerns the life and work of Mission del Sol.

There are monthly New Member Enquirers Classes. Each class will be offered on Sunday mornings during the Christian Education hour at 9:15 a.m. All classes will meet in the Meet & Greet room.

Affiliate Members

Those who are active members of another Christian church and who temporarily live in Arizona, may become affiliate members. They have all the rights and privileges of active members except voting and holding office.

Involvement

A faithful member accepts Christ's call to be involved responsibly in the ministry of the church. Involvement includes:

Proclaiming the good news;
Participating in the common life and worship of the church;
Praying and studying scripture and the faith of the Christian church;
Supporting the work of the church by giving money, time and talents;
Demonstrating a new quality of life within and through the church;
Responding to God's activity in the world through service to others;
Living responsibly in the personal, family, vocational, political, cultural and social relationships of life;
Working in the world for peace, justice, freedom and human fulfillment.
