Membership

“Whoever you are and wherever you are in life’s journey, you are welcome in this church.”

Peacham Congregational Church

We welcome you to join our church community as:

A Member

You should become a Member; if you ascribe to our Statement of Faith, recently restated and updated by a vote of the members, the Church Covenant, and affirm your belief in God and Jesus as the focus of Christian Faith. You may do so even if you hold membership in another church. As a Member, you may vote at all membership meetings. You may serve on all committees and vote to approve our; operating and capital budgets, to elect Officers and Business Committee members, to elect Deacons. You will also be allowed to vote on all topics requiring a membership vote, including matters concerning our church ministry, such as to call a new pastor.

—or—

An Association Member

An Associate Member supports our Church through attendance, contributions of service,

or providing financial support. Importantly, as included in the Church’s amended Constitution, you do not necessarily need to ascribe to and therefore do not need to accept the Church’s Statement of Faith or the Covenant. You may vote at all membership meetings [JM2], except those related to ministry, such as a vote to call a new pastor, and although you may not serve as a Deacon, you can serve on all other committees. Of significance, you may vote on the operating and capital budgets for the Church and call to elect our Officers and Business Committee members.
