Membership
Becoming a member is a way of saying, “This is where I belong, where I’m growing, and where I’m committed to making a difference.”
It’s about belonging to a community that loves God, loves people, and is growing together in faith. The first step in becoming a member is to complete an application. Our Pastor will reach out to you once your application is submitted.

Baptism
A powerful next step in your walk with Jesus. For centuries, baptism has been a defining step for those who follow Jesus. Jesus Himself began His ministry with baptism and made it part of His final command to His disciples. When we choose to be baptized, we step into the story of Jesus—leaving our old life behind, burying it in the water, and rising into new life through the power of His resurrection.
Baptism also marks a significant moment in your personal faith journey. It serves as a lasting reminder of the forgiveness, freedom, and relationship Jesus has graciously given us. There are days when believing we are truly forgiven feels difficult. Days when old wounds, habits, or struggles resurface. Days when Jesus feels distant. In those moments, baptism anchors us—reminding us that our faith is not built on what we have done for Jesus, but on what Jesus has already done for us.
Serve on a Team
From playing an instrument to hospitality, God has designed you uniquely with different skills, talents, and abilities. It’s God’s desire for you to use those ways he has gifted you to serve others inside and outside the church. Serving on a team is one of the best ways to live out your faith and connect at church. It’s also where meaningful relationships are formed, faith is strengthened, and we experience the joy of being part of what God is doing, together.
