We answer this question directly in the Membership Information Class offered on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

The short answer is:

(1) church membership is more about what you can give than what you get

(2) church membership is a pathway to live out what the Bible teaches about following Jesus

If you were baptized by immersion in response to experiencing God’s salvation through faith in Jesus, we do not require you to be re-baptized. If you have not been baptized or if you have questions about your previous baptism, we would be honored to talk with you about that.

Yes. After you attend the New Member Information Meeting (2nd Sunday of each month) and meet with a Pastor/Church Leader, we will contact your previous church to “transfer your church letter” to Emmaus. 

*If you are seeking God’s direction about whether to leave your current church and join another church, we hope you’ll take a look at the resource linked below (“Church Transfer and Church Growth”).
