How do I join the church?

St. John’s UCC - Midway receives new members during our regular worship services on Sunday mornings. There are two ways in which new members are received: by baptism or by reaffirmation of baptism.


What does baptism entail?

Baptism is the sacrament of initiation into the church. If you have never been baptized, membership will ordinarily be by baptism, and your preparation will include the study of the meaning of the sacrament and preparation with the pastor for being baptized.


Do you accept the baptisms of other Christian churches?

Yes. If you have previously been baptized in any church, you will have the opportunity to reaffirm your baptism as you join a new congregation. Some people are coming from another congregation where they have been active members. This often happens when people move to a new town or city. Then you or your pastor may request a “letter of transfer” from your previous congregation.
