At UMCE, you don't have to be a member to worship, participate, serve, receive Communion or be part of our church family. You're welcome here exactly as you are!
Becoming a member is a way of saying, "This is my church community, and I want to be part of what God is doing here."
When you join a United Methodist Church, you make a commitment to support the life and ministries of the church through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. And the congregation makes a commitment to you, too: to walk alongside you as we grow in faith and share God's love with the world.
Whether you've been attending UMCE for years or have only recently found your way here, we'd love to welcome you into membership.
Joining UMCE is a simple process:
Our DTR Conversation is our membership orientation. You will join others who are becoming members of UMCE to learn a little more about our church, what it means to be United Methodist, and the commitments we make to one another as members.
It's a relaxed opportunity to ask questions, get to know us better, and explore whether membership is the right step for you.
We are planning our next DTR Conversation for February 2027. If you're interested in joining, fill out the interest form below.
