Church Membership For Lutherans Transferring from other LC-MS Churches.
Those desiring transfer from a LC-MS church are expected to:
Attend the membership class.
Establish a regular worship pattern for at least three months. (at least half of the Sundays during this period)
Sign a “Four-Fold Expectations of Members” commitment form.
Takes steps to get connected with St. John’s in one or more of the different groups and activities that are offered.
Prayerfully consider making a stewardship pledge to the church… general and building.
Once a person meets these conditions, the elders will inform the voters and those desiring transfer will be received into membership in a worship service.
Variation to this procedure will be at the discretion of the Pastor and the Board of Elders.
