Membership at Maplewood UMC
Becoming a member of a congregation does not earn you any special privileges. You don't get a discount card or a special parking place. There is no "members only" activity, other than serving as a trustee. Anyone and everyone can participate in any and every ministry of the congregation at any and every time.
Becoming a member of a congregation means that you have decided that this is the group of people with whom you want to follow Jesus. And now you want to affirm that decision publicly, by making five particular promises: to participate in the ministries of the congregation through your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness.
Maplewood UMC offers periodic Membership Classes for anyone who is discerning the decision to become a member. These classes, led by Rev. Andy Bryan, cover the basics of Methodism, the mission/vision/values of the congregation, and the specific membership promises. If you would like information about upcoming Membership Class opportunities, please fill out the form below.
