Are you presently serving in the church? If Yes, in what capacity are you serving? Tell us more about how you believe God has equipped you to serve the body of believers.

Another expectation of a member is that we reflect God's overwhelming grace to us in the way we give to bless others, and to resource our church's mission. While we affirm that details about giving are confidential, the habit itself demonstrates good spiritual health.

Do you actively participate in giving to the church?

Next Steps...
After you attend the membership class and complete this form, we will set up an interview with you and two Elders. It is an opportunity for you to get to know them and they you, and for you to ask questions. When couples are becoming members together, the Elders usually meet with you both at the same time. After a successful interview, your name is submitted to the Elders board for approval and then published in the bulletin for 2 weeks, for approval by the current members. If no concerns are raised, you will receive a letter welcoming you as a member of the church.

Contact information will be used by Emmanuel Orillia for communication regarding this and other events, ministries and programs. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.
