Joining our church:
There are a variety of ways to participate as a member at the Chebeague Island UMC. All are welcome to join us for worship, Bible study, and to participate in our ministries, regardless of background. Membership is a decision to intentionally make this church your spiritual home. As a member, your covenant with us is to support the work of Jesus Christ through this church by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness.
There are a variety of ways you can join our church family as a member:
Full Membership - for those who have been baptized and wish to make this church their faith community. If you haven't been baptized and wish to join, please talk to our pastor about this important step on your faith journey. You can join the church through Confession of Faith (for those not previously connected with a church community) or Transfer of Membership (from your previous church to this one).
In addition to full membership, there are three other possible levels of membership in our church:
Baptized Membership is for children who have been baptized, but not yet been confirmed or who have not yet gone through a church membership class. Confirmation generally happens around ages 11-12 and classes are offered to help children understand what it means to live a life of faith in Jesus.
Affiliate Membership is for those who are residing in our community and wish to participate as a member of congregation, but still wish to maintain their United Methodist congregation in another location.
Associate Membership is for those who are residing in our community and wish to participate as a member of our congregation, but still wish to maintain their membership a church of another denomination in another location.
You are invited to talk to the pastor if you have any questions about church membership
