Wish to Join Glendale UMC?

If you have been worshipping with us and are interested in becoming a member, we welcome you to be part of Glendale.

There are a few simple steps to become a part of our congregation:

Let us know that you want to join:

Contact Rev. Sandra Griggs at 615.297.6233, glendalechurch@bellsouth.net, or in person at the church.

Let us know how you will be joining

If you have questions about this, Rev. Sandra Griggs will be happy to talk with you about it.

• Transfer of membership from another United Methodist Church. If you are a member of another United Methodist Church, you may transfer your membership to Glendale.
• Transfer of membership from another denomination. If you are a member of another denomination, you may transfer to the United Methodist Church.
• In either type of transfer, our Membership Secretary will contact your former church to notify them that you have united with Glendale.
• Profession of Faith. If you have never been a member of a church, you may join by Profession of Faith.

Baptism

If you have been baptized at any age and in any Christian denomination, it is not necessary to be baptized again. The United Methodist Church recognizes all Christian baptisms. If you have not been baptized, you may be baptized at the time you join the church. The pastor will talk with you about baptism beforehand.

Picking the day to join

We will talk with you to determine the Sunday and the service when you would like to join. On that day, you will come forward during the last song of the service to respond to the membership vows. Following the service, our members will greet you and welcome you to Glendale (and we’ll give you a church directory to help with everyone’s contact information and to become more familiar with names!)

 
We welcome all who are led to be part of our Glendale family!

Open Hearts. Open Minds. Open Doors.
