Membership Class
Sunday, June 5th 
from 4:00 - 6:00 pm 
in the Theatre
star Membership is an important step in the life of any follower of Christ. Membership is when you decide not to just "join" a church but to "partner" with them in what they are doing in the world. Membership allows us to have a say in the direction of the church by allowing you to vote during general elections and upcoming decisions that require a vote to be conducted. Membership also says you voluntarily hold yourself to a greater level of commitment in a local body of believers.
 Our next Membership Class will be held on Sunday, June 5th, from 4:00 - 6:00 pm in the Theatre (just inside the South Entrance). We will cover what a church is, what the Nazarene Church stands for, what Hutchinson Nazarene stands for, and what we expect of our members.
 Indicate Church Membership on the Connection Card in the worship folder, or email the church office at firstchurch@hutchfirstnaz.org if you are interested in attending.
 Coming to the Membership Class does not mean you are required to join the church, it is open for anyone who is curious about what it means to be a member of our church.
