Welcome to Three Chopt Presbyterian Church!
We invite you to join us! We have Inquirer classes in the fall, winter and spring at 10:00 am on Sundays in the Parlor. This class gives you a chance to meet other prospective members, elders and leaders of the church, and to learn much more about Three Chopt Presbyterian Church. Review the following and contact one of the pastors with any questions.
There are several easy ways to become a member:
a. by Profession of Faith in Jesus Christ, and Baptism -- If you have not been baptized, you may join by making a public profession of faith and being baptized. Those previously baptized simply need to publicly profess their faith.
b. by Reaffirmation of Faith -- If you have been a member of a Christian church but have not been active in recent years, you may join by reaffirming your need of and dependence on Christ
c. by Certificate of Transfer -- If you have made a profession of faith and are a member of another church, you may join by transferring your membership. After you join Three Chopt, we will contact your former church and request your certificate of membership transfer.
The Day You Join - You will gather for photographs and a meeting with the Session. You will be received into membership by answering the following questions:
1. Do you trust in Jesus Christ and accept him as your Lord and Savior?
2. Do you intend to be Christ's faithful disciple, seeking to obey his teaching and to show his love to your life's end?
3. Do you intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in your baptism, to be a faithful member of this congregation, to share in its ministry through your prayers and gifts, your study and service, and so fulfill your calling to be a disciple of Jesus Christ?
You will be welcomed and introduced to the congregation at a worship service following your meeting with the Session.
