Exploring Membership
Each of us wants a sense of belonging - to be part of
something greater than ourselves, to be needed to share life together in all its glory and
challenges, to grow in faith and share it with others. We invite you to consider
membership in the Mequon United Methodist Church.
Who Are We?
Mequon United Methodist Church is located at 11011 N.
Oriole Lane, Mequon, WI. We are a community of faith of approximately 450 persons.
Though we are diverse in background and outlook, we are united in a common
commitment to Christ and a growing vision of ministry to all God's people. The
United Methodist Church is a "mainline" Protestant Church which holds to the
central teachings of the Christian faith while encompassing a great deal of latitude in
individual understandings and expressions of faith. We encourage each person to
continue growing in faith within the fellowship created by Christ's love for us and our
love for one another.
Becoming a Member
A person may join the church by transfer from another
church or denomination or by profession of faith. The United Methodist Church
recognizes the baptism and confirmation of other churches. Membership is open to all
who earnestly desire to be disciples of Christ - to live in love and service while growing
in faith.
All prospective members are asked to attend a class
"Exploring Membership in the United Methodist Church", held about four times a
year. The sessions help participants understand the mission and ministry of the
denomination and this local church. We explore our understanding of discipleship,
the basics of the United Methodist tradition and how we grow in our faith. It is a
time to get to know our pastor, other persons exploring member ship and our church family.
