New Member Form- Abundant Grace

New Member Form-Abundant Grace | We are very excited that you will be officially joining Abundant Grace, a mission church of Saint Paul's UMC!

On this form you are asked to share basic contact information, demographic information that we use for reporting purposes, and information about whether you are baptized and your previous church. If you don't know the exact date of baptism it is OK to estimate. Previous church information is only needed if you are transferring your membership.

There is a technical question about how you will be joining. We have some specific statistics that we have to fill out annually, and this goes into your membership record just for those purposes, but it can be confusing. The options are:

1. Profession of Faith - if this is your first time professing your faith in Jesus Christ, this is what you would mark; usually accompanied by baptism, confirmation, or perhaps if you were baptized as a child but never attended church as an adult.
2. Transfer from another UMC - if you have an active membership in a different UMC and you are transferring your membership here, this is what you would mark.
3. Transfer from other denomination - if you have an active membership at a church that is not UMC and you are transferring your membership here, this is what you mark.
4. Reaffirmation of Faith - if you have been baptized before, and have professed faith in Jesus before, but you aren't currently a member of another church (perhaps you stopped attending for a while, or have recently recommitted yourself, or were attending a different church but had never joined there) then this is what you would mark.
