How To Join

Guests and friends of Community United Methodist Church who are attending and involved in any of our church programs and ministries who desire to continue growing in faith and discipleship through membership are invited to consider attending a "Fireside Chat" with our pastors on a Sunday afternoon, four times per year. Some membership candidates prefer to gather after the 10:30 AM worship service while others prefer starting at 3:30 PM. Both schedules include a light meal  and child care is provided. An additional mid-session will meet on a following Sunday morning as part of our orientation program.

Watch the Welcome Word and the Sunday Bulletin for opportunities to participate in a "Fireside Chat" or call our Church (262-782-4060) for next available dates.

Members are distinguished from guests and others attending our church by their loyalty to our church and their readiness to commit to the following membership expectations:
• Faithful and regular prayers for the church, its ministry and leaders.
• Regular participation in worship and other programs and ministries;
• Faithful offering of time, talents, gifts, service, and witness to support and help to lead the ministries and missions of our congregation;
• Support of the church through pledging and giving financial resources.

Note: Some members feel called to fulfill the Biblical teaching by pledging a tithe (10%) or more of their income as an expression of their faith in gratitude for the blessings God has provided for them. Others find it more appropriate to offer financial support for our ministry, mission, and operating budget by making regular donations to the church. Many find that a financial gift or pledge of 2% or 3% of their income offers them a tangible way to express their gratitude to God for their blessings while providing faithful support for the ministries of our congregation. Some gift or pledge is expected of all members who are employed or have a regular source of income.

If you seek to deepen your commitment to Jesus Christ and to grow in discipleship by fulfilling these responsibilities of membership, we welcome you to participate in a "Fireside Chat" by contacting the Church or our pastors for dates, details, and further information.
