Interested In Membership?
We want to be your church home in Zachary. Our ministers, officers, and staff are here to help you become part of our church family. We receive members in three ways: By transfer of membership from another evangelical church, by reaffirmation of saving faith in Jesus Christ, or by profession of saving faith in Jesus Christ. Whatever way you join Plains Presbyterian Church there are four necessary steps:
1. Attend a New Member Class which we offer at least twice a year. The class is presented in a seminar format, usually in three sessions. It is designed to help you learn about the Presbyterian Church, its government, discipline, doctrine, and history, as well as your part in the life of Plains Presbyterian Church. While everyone joining Plains Presbyterian Church is required to attend this class, attendance does not obligate you to join.
2. Meet with a minister and elders by appointment following completion of the New Member Class to discuss any questions you might have, share your Christian testimony, and to prepare you for meeting with the Session (governing body of the church).
3. Be presented to the Session and Affirm the Membership Vows. Here you will meet the elders, take your membership vows, and become a communing member of the church.
4. Be introduced to the Congregation on a Lord’s Day following meeting with the Session.
The next step is yours! If you would like to join or simply attend the next New Member’s Class, call the church office for details or speak to any of our staff or elders. We will be glad to talk with you about church membership.
