Celebrating 200+ Years of Methodism in Gettysburg!

Please contact the Pastor if you would like to join our church family!

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.
