Three Steps to Membership

At Bel Air UMC, our commitment to you begins on the day of your first visit. We aspire to help you grow in discipleship, and to be there for you in the joys and sorrows of life. Membership is about your commitment. It is where you confirm your faith in Christ, and your partnership in the mission and ministry of our church. If you would like to become a member, the steps to membership are easy and can be completed in any order. We’ve outlined them below so you can decide what your next step will be.

1. Attend a Discovery Luncheon. We invite you to join us for an informal lunch with our pastors. Whether you are a newcomer or a regular attender, Discovery is a unique opportunity to hear our pastors tell their story, and learn more about our church. The next Discovery Luncheon is Sunday, November 18, 12:30 pm. Sign up for Discovery at wolfl@baumc.com, or call the church office.

2. Get connected. Join a Home Group, an adult class, or an ongoing ministry in our church that puts you in fellowship with other members. We believe the church is made of people, growing and serving together to reflect Christ’s love in the world. To learn more about ways to serve and grow with us, check out our website at www.baumc.com, or call the church office.

3. Come to our 2-session Membership Class. You’ll get an overview of what it means to be called United Methodist, and how you can continue to grow and serve at Bel Air UMC according to your unique, God-given design. You’ll also make some new friends! Our next membership class is Monday, November 26 and December 3, 7-9 pm, in room 202-1. Please register in advance by completing and returning the New Member Profile to the church office, or by contacting Lisa Wolf at wolfl@baumc.com.

We receive people into membership about twice a year. Our next Membership Sunday is December 9 during morning worship.
