Becoming a Member of
Our Community of Faith
If you're interested in joining Bucks Central or in learning more about our doctrine and ministry, you're invited to attend the New Members Class this fall. The class will meet at Pastor Grisham's home for a series of three Sunday afternoons in late October and early November, following the worship service. Each session will consist of two half-hour lectures followed by group discussion. Lunch will be provided! Attendance at all three of these sessions is required for all who desire to join Bucks Central, whether by initial profession of faith in Jesus Christ or by letter of transfer from another church; and is encouraged for all those seeking to deepen their understanding of the faith they already confess.
On a Sunday in mid-November (prior to Thanksgiving), all those who've completed the course and wish to become members will, having been examined and approved by the Session, be presented before the congregation and received into the membership of Bucks Central Church. At that time, any among this group who have never been baptized will receive the sacrament.
