Church Membership

Church membership is about belonging to one another and becoming like Jesus. It is the way for individual Christians to make their formal commitment to the South Church family. In becoming a church member, individuals express their submission to the leadership of the church in accordance with the teaching of Scripture and the doctrinal statement of South Church.

Requirements for South Church Membership:

  1. Personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
  2. Committed to corporate worship and personal devotion to Christ and His Word.
  3. Baptism as a believer—at South Church we practice believer’s baptism by immersion. According to the command of Jesus himself and consistent with New Testament teaching, those who have consciously turned from their sin and put their personal faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized as an outward sign of their commitment to Him as Savior and Lord.
  4. Membership Course—attend The Membership Course that is normally offered three times during the year.

The weekend is for both Jr. and Sr. High. Please read through these instructions carefully, to review both our registration and cancelation policies.

Fill out the online registration form. You will receive an automatic email confirmation once you’ve registered. http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=qjbptmdab&oeidk=a07ejy1kl7if6d83f6c

WAIVERS

You will need to have a current South permission form. These are updated annually. You will also need to fill out the camp’s waiver, which will be emailed to you with other reminders.

PAYMENT

Submit payment to Jessica, Joel, or Nick – you can mail it to the church, leave it in Jessica’s mailbox in the office, or bring it (in an envelope labeled with your name, especially if it’s cash!) to Awaken or Arise on Wednesday nights (checks payable to South Church).

Cost: $125/student, $100 for each sibling after the first student. Please talk to Joel or Nick if finances are an issue.

Jessica will send you an email to confirm payment and provide more details closer to the event.

CANCELATION POLICY

Upon completing the online registration form, you are responsible for payment. If you cancel at any point after registration, you are still held responsible for payment, unless we are able to fill your reserved spot.
