Membership

Whether you are new to the Presbyterian Church, or you are considering a transfer, those interested in becoming members of Montview will attend an Inquirers’ Class.

About the Inquirers’ Class

This class provides an opportunity to explore becoming a member of Montview. It includes some time to get to know one another, think about our own faith journeys and consider what led us to Montview.

Throughout the class, we learn more about the Montview community, our ministry and the larger context of the Presbyterian Church.

You will get to know our Pastor, Clover Beal, our Minister of Children and Families, Sandy Prouty, and our Associate Pastor of Youth and Families, Amanda Osenga. You will also meet others who are interested in membership at Montview.

The class concludes with a Q&A period, during which we can provide further details for those who decide to join.

The Inquirer’s Class is four hours in length on a consecutive Saturday and Sunday morning. To sign up for an upcoming Inquirers’ Class, complete a registration form by clicking here. If you have questions regarding the class or membership, email Todd Rembe, Membership Coordinator/Scheduler, at todd@montview.org.

FAQs

Can I join the church if I haven’t been baptized?
Yes, you can join Montview. On a designated Sunday when new members join the church, you will be baptized during the service. Pastor Clover will meet with you separately, prior to the service, to discuss the Sacrament of Baptism.

Is childcare provided during the Inquirers’ Class?
Yes, qualified childcare professionals are present to care for children during the Inquirers’ Class. Please request childcare ahead of time. Simply provide the name(s) and age(s) of your child(ren) at least one week prior to class. You’re welcome to attend to your children as needed.

Is there anything else I need to do to become a member outside of attending the Inquirers’ Class?
Yes, about two to three weeks after the Inquirers’ Class, on a Sunday at the later service, you’ll be received publicly as a class.

May I join if I am not Presbyterian or even from a Protestant denomination?
Yes. Montview has been blessed by new members coming from all sorts of traditions.
