We invite you to become part of our Lake Houston Methodist Church family.
Maybe you have visited our church for a long time but have not joined. Perhaps you are visiting for the first time but feel this is the place for you. Either way, we'd love for you to join Lake Houston Methodist as a member.
Below are some answers to some frequently asked questions about membership. Please read them through. If you have further questions, please use the form at the bottom. We will answer them as soon as possible.
What does it mean to join?
Membership within a local congregation is open to all who are willing to repent of their sins and be baptized, professing faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, freely and knowingly assuming the vows of membership, and joining together with others in fellowship, witness, and service.
What do I do when I join?
The process of joining is fairly simple. When you join the church, you are joining the community of faith that is here at Lake Houston Methodist Church. Therefore we prefer that you join during one of our two main worship services.
Our 8:30 service is more traditional with hymns and creeds and is the smaller of our two worship services.
The 11:00 service uses contemporary music with a full band and tends to be the larger of our worship gatherings.
When it comes time in the service to join you and your family if joining as well, will be called forward by the pastor.
You will stand in front of the church and there will be a few questions asked, basically do you affirm your faith in Jesus Christ and will you live out your faith through this congregation.
We also ask if you will be loyal to Christ through this congregation of the Global Methodist Church and support it with your prayers, presence, gifts, service and witness?
Then we welcome you to the church. We ask that you hang out in the gathering space following the service so that others may greet and welcome you.
What if I'm a member of another church?
If you are currently a member of another church, our pastor can send a request for a transfer from another denomination. We ask that you take time to research the Global Methodist Church and our core beliefs. Of course if you have any questions you can also set up a time to talk with one of our pastors or leaders about our church and our denomination.
