Church Membership Class
Sunday, August 28th

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 also says you voluntarily hold yourself to a greater level of commitment in a local body of believers.
star Our next Membership Class has been rescheduled for Sunday, August 28th from 4:00 - 6:30 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.
star Please register for this class by email or call the Church Office at 662.1283. Child care will be provided for children through 5th grade (please RSVP the number of children that will be coming with you when you register.)
star 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.
