If you have never been baptized, you will prepare for baptism.
If you were baptized as an infant or young child and have not made a profession of faith and been confirmed, then you will prepare to reaffirm your baptism when you take the membership vows.
If you are a member of another part of the church (such as Baptist, Presbyterian or Lutheran), then you can transfer your membership from that church to a local United Methodist Church.
If you are a member of another Christian church that does not transfer membership, you can make a profession of faith and be received as a member.
You can set up a time to talk with Pastor Rick Enns (rick@firstmethodist.church) about becoming a member of First United Methodist Church in Canyon. Pastor Rick will be able to answer your questions and help you discern what NEXT STEPS to can make concerning membership.
