How to Become a Member of Brick Church

Five times per year, The Brick Church hosts a series of Membership Meetings. At these information meetings, neighbors, visitors, and members of The Brick Church can learn about Christian faith and worship, the Presbyterian tradition, and the history and life of The Brick Church.

Those wishing to join The Brick Church must attend all four meetings in the series. Also, visitors are invited to attend the series as a way to learn more about The Brick Church. Further, current members of The Brick Church are encouraged to join these sessions as a way to show visitors that we are a faith community that constantly seeks to learn and grow together.

New members are received into membership during a Sunday morning Worship service. Contact one of the pastors or complete a visitor's card and return it to an usher if you feel you are called to membership at the Brick Church. You may also contact Tanisha Carrell for more information.

Childcare is available for all the Sunday meetings and upon request for the Saturday orientation.
