JOINING THIS CHURCH:
Individuals may become a member of Spring Lake Presbyterian Church through their faith in Jesus Christ as Savior. Baptism and profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into active membership of the church. Application for membership may obtained by one of the following methods:
Profession of Faith:
A person who has never been a member of any Christian church, or who has been baptized but never officially "joined" a church, makes a profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
Certificate of Transfer:
A person who is a member of another Christian church and wishes to unite with Spring Lake Presbyterian Church, (SLPC) may request that the church office write for her or his letter.
Reaffirmation of Faith:
Some demoninations do not transfer members, including, but not limited to, the Church of Christ, the Baptist Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. A person who is a member of one of these churches and wishes to join SLPC will be asked to reaffirm his or her faith in Jesus Christ. No "rebaptism" is required.
Affiliate Membership:
A person who is a member of another Christian demonination, (contact Rev. Treadway for more information) but who will be in our area seasonally may use this category. An affiliate member is officially connected to SLPC for a period of two years while maintaining full membership in his or her "home" church. An affiliate membership is renewable.
