An Invitation to Join Our Congregation… If you are not yet a member of our church, we would love for you to become one. If you are interested in learning more, please either speak with Pastor Jenks or check the “Desire to Join” box on the Care Card pad in your pew and be sure to include your phone number. Membership generally occurs in one of three ways:

  1. transfer from another LCMS congregation,
  2. profession of faith (if you have previously belonged to the LCMS), or
  3. taking a brief membership class or independent study about the doctrines of our church.

The Quarterly Giving Reports are in your member mailboxes located near the Wilson Ave. doors.
