Church Membership has Benefits!
think about these things...

Did you know...
  • Jesus was faithful to his friends even when they were not. (Mt. 26:45) He'll be faithful to you too!
  • Jesus defended people from bullies. (John 8:1-11) He'll defend you too!
  • Jesus wasn't afraid of anything or anyone. (Mt. 20:17-19) He'll teach you courage!
  • Jesus wants you to be happy and he knows how to get you there. (John 16:24) Just open your heart to him and to his community of followers.
Besides following Jesus, the greatest man who ever lived, church membership also offers other benefits.

Did you know...


A University of Pittsburgh Medical Center study showed that weekly churchgoers live on average three years longer than people who don't go to church.


Church is a great place to meet friends who really care about friendship!


There's always someone in your church community who is there to help you with any problems that come your way in life. Don't be afraid to ask for help!


We're glad that you belong to our church and that you are becoming a deeper member through Confirmation! You can help us be a better church by being a better member yourself. Talk with your parents about how you can help our church become more welcoming. We would love to get you more involved!
