Becoming a Member

After you’ve visited All Saints for a while, you may feel you are ready to investigate membership.

Membership in a local church is the way Christians follow Jesus in the world. The local church commits to oversight, support, and protection of the Christian’s discipleship process, and a Christian commits to faithfulness, obedience, and service to the local church. Jesus gives the world the church, and we follow him by joining it.

If you are ready to learn about becoming a member at All Saints, we invite you to take part in a Newcomer’s Luncheon – held after church on Sundays (see the Church Calendar or contact the Church office to register for the next one.)

Newcomer’s Lunch

The Newcomer’s Lunch is a time to learn more about our congregation, ask questions about our tradition, and explore the history and future of our church. This class is an important part of the membership process at All Saints and is required for membership.

Held once over other month, approximately, meet with other interested newcomers and Father Duncan to learn about Anglicanism and All Saints Church. You’ll have a chance to ask any and ALL questions you might have. And enjoy lunch with us!

Contact Emily Ward, Office Manager for more information: emily@allsaintsweddington.org

Baptism

If you’ve decided to follow Jesus, the sacrament of baptism is the next step of obedience. Baptism is the door to the church, and no one enters without it. As an Anglican church, we believe the children of Christian families should also be baptized as they grow in public loyalty to Jesus with their family.

Confirmation

After receiving instruction in the Christian faith through our confirmation classes, a member of the church is confirmed by a Bishop in our diocese and receives unique empowerment from the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:14-17; 1 Tim 4:14). Confirmed members can serve in leadership roles in the church.
