Membership

Are You Looking for a Church Home?Chapel Lane Presbyterian Church extends a warm welcome in the name of Christ to all who worship with us.

As you become a member of Chapel Lane, it is our hope that you will grow in your faith and will support the church to the best of your ability. We have high expectations of all our members and want you to find your place of service in our church. We will try to stimulate and motivate you so that you will be a blessing to others by:

• Attending worship regularly
• Studying the Word of God through regular Bible study
• Finding a place to serve; Christ came to serve, not to be served
• Giving intentionally and generously of your material wealth, time, talents and spiritual gifts

The church offers an Inquirers' Class to persons interested in becoming members of Chapel Lane. These classes are offered in the fall and the spring. Go to the Chapel Lane Calendar and select “Inquirer’s Class” under the Interest Group pull-down menu to find the schedule of classes.

There are three ways to become a member of Chapel Lane Presbyterian Church.
1. By Profession of Faith in Jesus Christ
One becomes an active member of the church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and a public profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into the active membership of the church.

2. By Reaffirmation of Faith in Jesus Christ
Sometimes, persons who previously made a profession of faith and became active members in a particular church are unable to secure a certificate of transfer or other evidence of church membership. After instruction and examination by the session, these persons shall reaffirm publicly their profession of faith and their acceptance of responsibility in the life of the church.

3. By Letter of Transfer
If you were active in another Christian church, you may join Chapel Lane by transferring your membership. Before you join Chapel Lane, our church secretary will write to your former church for a letter or other evidence of church membership.
