PURPOSE: The Purpose of the membership development team is to welcome, orient, teach, and assimilate new members of the St. Mark United Methodist Church to the Church family and to what it means to be a member of the body of Christ.
RATIONALE: In observing persons as they come to acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ in their life and becoming an active member of the local church, there have been those times when “new” persons to a local church, or persons “new” in the body of Christ get lost in the newness of being a part of a faith community. The membership development ministry team has been conceived and developed with new members of the St. Mark Church family in mind. It is the vehicle that we believe that God has called us to use in order to assimilate new members into the St. Mark United Methodist Church family and into what it means to be a Christian.
Note: if a member of the Membership Team is not present on the day the New Member joins church, they should seek them out in church and find a time to call them. Each team member will; be given the name, address and telephone number of all new members.
