Joining the Family of Faith

Becoming a part of a Christian congregation is best described as joining an extended family of faith. At Faith Memorial We have separated the process of spiritual formation and education into sections to allow for flexibility while maintaining the importance of preparation for membership in a Christian congregation. Each person is unique and comes to the congregation with different knowledge and a different background.

Spiritual Life

 The BEST way to become a part of our family is to join us in worship. It takes time to become a part of a family.

All Christians, new and old alike. should find a way to study God's word, in a group or individually. Every member is encouraged to become involved in personal bible study.

Education

A brief introduction to the possibilities of life as a child of God.  The class is beneficial for everyone, but is designed especially as a way to introduce the unchurched to the life of God’s people.  Usual schedule: Two weeks for 1½ hours on a Sunday or mid-week evening.  The class could also be scheduled on Sunday mornings for three or four weeks.

A brief introduction to teaching of the church as confessed by Lutherans using the Apostle’s Creed as an outline for study.  Usual schedule: Seven sessions for 1½ hours on a Sunday or mid-week evening.  Could also be scheduled on Sunday mornings for 14 weeks.
