Steps to becoming a member of Zion Lutheran
Church
Membership may be by:
·
Transfer – from
another Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) congregation where you are
currently a member
·
Adult
Confirmation – completing a ten (10) week class of background
information about beliefs and practices of the Lutheran Church
·
Profession
of Faith – formerly an LCMS member but not currently one
Step 1: Come
and worship at Zion
Lutheran Church.
“Check it out”, participate in
worship, observe, and ask questions. Take your time to be sure you want to join
the congregation. You do not have to be a “member”
to attend or worship at Zion.
Once you have decided you would like to become a part of the Zion congregational “church family” the following steps apply.
Step 2: Set an
appointment with one of the pastors to get acquainted and discuss expectations
of membership. (952/938-7661). One of the following will be
required for those wishing to join:
a.
Complete a membership transfer request from
your former LCMS congregation
b.
Attend and complete the Adult Confirmation “Discovering the Faith” new member class
for anyone who has never been “confirmed”
in the Lutheran Church
c.
Complete a membership request form for those who
were formerly an LCMS congregational member but are not currently one (Profession
of Faith)
Step 3: Upon
successfully completing the application process you will be formally welcomed
by the congregation at an upcoming worship service and your name will be added
to the membership roster of Zion
as a “Communicant” member. Immediately
following the welcome service you, along with all other individuals joining Zion, will be the
guest(s) of honor at a potluck buffet luncheon in the fellowship hall of the
church.
