What's involved?
Becoming a member at MVPC is a five step process:
Membership Information:
Read through the online material covering what it means to be a Christian, a Presbyterian, a member, and how to grow as a Christian. This should take about 1-2 hours of your time. As you read please jot down any questions and bring them to the Membership Orientation. You'll also download a form to complete and bring to the Session Dessert.
Membership Orientation:
This one-hour Sunday morning gathering (10:30am) will give you a chance to connect with others while discussing your questions.
Fellowship Gathering:
This one-hour gathering will give you a chance to connect with others in homes and off the MVPC campus while discussing ways to connect with MVPC ministries.
Session Dessert:
This one-hour Sunday evening gathering will give you a chance to meet with members of session (our elder board) and share your faith stories. Be sure to bring your completed Membership forms!
