Prayer Globe PictureWhat We Believe:

We believe in the Triune God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and the Gospel as the power of God for salvation for all who believe. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God, inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, recording and announcing God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. We believe the Church to be a people created by God in Christ and sustained by the Holy Spirit, called, and sent to communicate God's creative, redeeming, and sanctifying activity in the world.

Becoming a Member:

New members are received at Family of God on a “New Member Sunday,” typically either in spring or fall.  Your participation in a series of Sunday noon get-acquainted sessions is part of the preparation for membership.  This is a chance for some current members and staff to meet you and for you to meet them and others joining the congregation in an informative and relaxed session.  Individuals or families are also welcome to meet separately with the pastor or another staff member about any matters of faith or church involvement.  We celebrate new members joining the Body of Christ in this place.  We also celebrate the presence of friends of the congregation and visitors not ready for the step of membership.
