The Epsicopal Church Shield

The Church of the Epiphany

welcomes you!


 
Membership

There are formal and informal ways to call Epiphany your home.  The least formal is to worship with us on Sunday morning, meet other members and get involved in the recreational, educational, and service activities of the parish.  We love having guests join us for these events, and you will find yourself warmly welcomed.

When You’re Ready to Make a More Formal Commitment
» If you are a new Christian, the first step to membership in the church is baptism. This is a common Christian sacrament of rebirth and initiation into the community of followers of Christ Jesus.
» If you are coming from a different congregation, you may request a letter of transfer from your old parish.

If you want to formalize your membership, talk to any member of the church, or to the priest.

Expectations of Members
» You will seek a deeper knowledge of God by participating in Bible Study and other spiritual development.
» You will participate in the prayers of the community, including personal and/or family prayer.
» You will get to know the other members of the congregation, encouraging and supporting each other.
