Welcome

OUR vision

We are a vibrant community church at the crossroads of our modern changing world. As a congregation from varied backgrounds, we work and worship cooperatively to bring others and ourselves closer to God. Through the spirit of Christ we are connected to our worldwide church family by stewardship, commitment, mission outreach, and educational opportunities.

Statement of inclusivity

Convinced of God’s Grace, we affirm that there can be no exclusiveness in the body of Christ. We welcome all regardless of race, ethnic heritage, national origin, age, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic standing; and we encourage the full participation of all in the life of our congregation.

Becoming a member

When Jesus invited people to become his disciples he did not offer a nine-week class of church polity and tradition, he simply said, “Come and follow me.” Freedom Plains United Presbyterian Church is delighted that you are reading this thinking about claiming our congregation as your church home. We are a community that believes you learn by doing and we long to have you join with us in worship, and service as we seek to follow our risen Lord.

How Do I Join?

Talk to the Pastor; send him an email, jason.elder@fpupchurch.org. During the year we hold several New Member Teas to orient and welcome people into the life of the congregation. Also, often the pastor (s) will meet one on one with new folks helping to orient folks to the church and answer questions about membership or anything else. Normally an appropriate date is found and new members are welcomed to our congregation during our Sunday Morning worship services.

Freedom Plains United welcomes all who desire membership. You can become a member of our church in four ways:

Baptism and Profession of Faith
Affirmation of Faith for Those Previously Baptized
Transfer of Membership from another Christian Church
Reaffirmation of Faith
