Membership Form

We're glad you* are thinking about membership at The Vine!

Members of our local congregation: 
  • Practice mutual accountability in discipleship (commit to knowing and being known);
  • Regularly attend corporate worship (commit to being present);
  • Give financially to the mission of the church (commit to tithing at a level appropriate to you);
  • Vote to elect new vestry members (commit to engagement in the leadership process)
Becoming a member requires: 
  • Baptism in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (in any Christian tradition);
  • A credible witness of faith in Jesus Christ (written in the membership form);
  • Affirming the tenets of historic Christian faith as expressed in the Apostle's Creed
Being a member of The Vine does not require wholesale identification with the Anglican tradition. However, those who desire to become members not only of our congregation but also of our broader Anglican communion may choose to be confirmed. (Note: Our lay leadership team, the vestry, consists of Confirmed adult members of the congregation.)  

Confirmed Members, in addition to all of the above:
  • Receive the sacrament of confirmation -- an adult "confirmation" of faith in Jesus  
  • Identify with the worldwide Anglican communion and the historic Apostolic faith.
  • Are eligible to serve on the vestry -- our lay-leadership team that stewards the resources and vision of the church.
  • (Note: Those who have already been confirmed in an Anglican, Catholic, or Orthodox tradition will be Received at the time of Confirmation.)
* If you have other family members (age 15+) who are interested, please let each fill out this form individually.  Children under 15 have a separate process of confirmation. 

Check any that apply.

We realize this is a small platform to tell what is possibly a big story. Share as detailed or as summarizing as you feel lead.

The Apostles' Creed (2nd century articulation of faith)

Please read:

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Amen.

I covenant with the members of The Vine Church, agreeing that I will:

1) Worship together regularly and serve the community needs of The Vine with my time and talents, including our endeavors to care for our neighbors and the broader community.
2) Give generously to help meet the financial needs of The Vine.
3) Invest in the important decisions of the church by voting when called upon and able.

This commitment is the core of what it means to commit to this community—it therefore applies to all membership types.
