how to join leesburg methodist church

There are five steps to joining Leesburg Methodist Church. Why? Because we want to be sure that all members understand what membership in Christ's body really means. And we want to be sure you know the direction of Leesburg Methodist Church specifically.


1. Be a baptized Christian, meaning to profess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and have been baptized either at Leesburg Methodist Church or previously in a Christian Church.


2. Attend Discipleship 101. (Once prospective members go through Discipleship 101, a class taught by the pastor, new members are welcome to join during either one of our two worship services.)  Call the church office for the latest class information.

 

3. Sign the Membership Covenant presented at Discipleship 101.


4. Begin serving on a ministry team.


5. Make a public profession of one's baptismal/membership vows. 

methods of joining

  • CONFESSION OF FAITH – the initial entrance into membership in the church when one confesses faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. You will be baptized at the worship service.
  • REAFFIRMATION OF FAITH – one’s renewing of the initial confession of faith after a period of inactivity or not being a member of another church.
  • TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP – from another United Methodist Church or a Christian church of another denomination. We recognize baptism from all other Christian churches.
