Becoming a member with our congregation is important because it is our public commitment to you and you with us, to be a Christian family where we vow to grow together in our faith in Christ. We promise to glorify the Lord with our lives, and we become accountable to participate in our congregation with our prayers, presence, gifts, witness, and service.
As the United Methodist Church organization explains: “For United Methodists, membership means being part of a fellowship of followers of Jesus Christ who seek to make the world more like the Kingdom of God. Being a member means becoming as much a part of the church, the body of Christ, as our limbs are members of our own physical bodies. Just as our bodies are formed in the waters of the womb, so we become part of the body of Christ through the waters of baptism.”

* The Sacrament of Baptism is a requirement to join the United Methodist Church. If you have ever been baptized in any Christian denomination, there is no need to be re-baptized.
Let the pastors know that you desire to join into membership by contacting any of them through email or by calling the church office.
The pastors will set a Sunday date with you when you will be invited to join by coming forward during the worship service, where the pastor will introduce you, ask you about joining, and pray for you. If you would like to become a member in a more private setting, or on another day besides on a Sunday, we will schedule that for you.
Once you are scheduled to join, print the form below, fill it out and bring it with you the day your big day.

Prayer – We want to maintain the Lord as the leader, guide, and way to follow in this season. We do not want to get distracted with things that take us away from His will, but to move toward His plan.
Support as a member – Prayers, presence, gifts, witness, and service are the ways that we support each other to maintain ourselves healthy as a congregation.
Learn and get involved in our NHUMC ACTion program - The purpose of this program is to precisely facilitate the process of assimilation to every person that comes to this congregation. This process will help a person at his or her own “speed” to grow and explore the way our congregation functions, places where he/she can serve, tools that will help him/her to learn more about himself/herself, and experiences in his/her own lives than can be used to serve in the Body of Christ.”
Regardless if you have been a member for the entire life of this church or if you just came to visit for the first time last week, this program will welcome and encourage you to participate.
