MEMBERSHIP AT SELMA UMC IS ABOUT BELONGING, COMMITMENT, AND OWNERSHIP
Becoming a member of Selma UMC isn’t as easy as signing your name on the dotted line. Being a member says, "This is my church and I'm going to passionately do what I can to help it achieve its God-given mission."
"A Disciples Path" is our pathway to membership. In this 7-week course, you'll learn about Selma UMC's core values and expectations of its members:
- Prayers: I will pray daily for my small group and my church's ministries, people, and staff
- Presence: I will attend worship every Sunday and LIFE Group every week I possibly can
- Gifts: I will tithe (10%) to my church, or give a percentage now and work toward the tithe
- Service: I will use my spiritual gifts and abilities to serve in at least one ministry of my church
- Witness: I will regularly share my faith and invite others to our church to experience God.
You'll also experience community with others on the same path as you--building friendships, supporting each other in prayer and care, and simply experiencing life together.
Once you've completed the course, you'll be asked to complete a membership application, which will include the following membership prerequisites:
- A conscious decision to make Jesus Christ your Savior and Lord
- Baptism (if you have not yet been baptized, this can be arranged for you)
- Completion of the course session and daily workbook lessons
- Agreement to practice the five membership expectations of prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.
