Are you interested in becoming a member and joining us in ministry?
New Member meetings will be held on Sunday afternoons in the Fall and Spring. During the gatherings we will explore what it means to be an ELCA Lutheran Christian, the structure of LCGS and the ways you are invited to be involved in living out your Baptismal calling. After completing the class, participants will be Baptized or affirm their baptism and be welcomed into the congregation during worship service. Please call the church office for information or to register at (410) 838-8081. All are welcome in worship and for programs held at LCGS! Beyond that, becoming a member is a way for you to come along side us in an intentional way to support and advance the ministry that we at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd have been called to. We hope that our members are actively involved in both participating and leading programs. Members may decide to run for church council or other leadership positions within the congregation, serve on the preschool board, teach Sunday School or lead youth activities. There are many ways for members to use the gifts God has blessed them with! We also hope that our members will continue to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ by enhancing their own spiritual growth by participating in Bible Study, Faith Group, or other educational opportunities. As an active member (defined in the LCGS constitution as having communed and made a contribution of record at least once each year), you are eligible to vote at the annual meeting held in November or in other congregational meetings. We welcome you to our church family! |
