Membership

Membership

Adult Membership
Grace has periodic membership classes.  Adults can join after they have completed a class and a letter of transfer is received from the church in which they currently hold membership.  If a person is not currently a member in good standing of a congregation, the individual joins by affirming their faith.
Children and Membership
In 2008-09, our Christian Education Board developed a Progression Toward Membership for our children and youth.  It was approved by our Church Council in August 2009.
The Progression seeks to set yearly milestones for our children so they can become an integrated part of the church from an early age.
