Celebrating 200+ Years of Methodism in Gettysburg!

From time to time, persons inquire about church membership within the Gettysburg Church family.  There are several ways that membership can take place:

    *  Letter of Transfer:  Persons currently belong to another congregation nearby or in another community, etc.  The desire to transfer membership is activated by having our church office (334-3032) request a "letter of transfer" from the other congregation (United Methodist, Lutheran, etc.).

    *  Profession of Faith:  Persons who have never joined a congregation are invited to receive membership by expressing their faith in Jesus Christ.  Our hymnal has a brief order of worship for this celebration.  The profession of faith may take place during the service or privately. ---For persons who have not been baptized, the Sacrament of Baptism is the means of union with the church.

   *  Reaffirmation of Faith:  Persons whose membership in another congregation has lapsed may be united with the church by a brief reaffirmation of faith.  This may take place in worship or privately.

   *  Associate Membership:  Persons who have their United Methodist Church membership in another congregation (and seek to retain it) may become an "associate member" in the Gettysburg Church family.
