Kessler Park UMC welcomes all persons who wish to join us on the journey of faith and who seek to grow in God's love as revealed in the life and love of Jesus Christ.

Visitors are welcome to participate fully in every area of the church's life prior to joining.

1. Profession of Faith and Baptism - For persons expressing their first public commitment of faith. The United Methodist tradition recognizes Christian baptism, regardless of mode (immersion, pouring, sprinkling) or denominational affiliation.
2. Reaffirmation of Faith - For persons who previously have been baptized and wish to renew their faith commitment, or for persons who wish to express a deepened spiritual experience or a fresh understanding of their faith.
3. Transfer of Membership- For persons who previously have been members of other Christian churches (United Methodist Church or other denominations). No letter of transfer is required prior to joining. As a courtesy, we will notify your previous church home of your membership at Kessler Park UMC and request their acknowledgment.

1. Come forward to meet with the Senior Pastor at the front of the sanctuary during the "Invitation to Christian Discipleship and Church Membership" at the conclusion of any worship service. Although we welcome and encourage you to confer in advance with the Senior Pastor about your decision to join, prior arrangements are not required.
2. Attend the pastor's "Meet the Methodists" class to learn more about Methodism and the United Methodist Church. Attendance at this 4-week class is not mandatory, though many new members find the class helpful and enjoyable.
3. Setup a personal meeting with the Senior Pastor by contacting the church office (214.942.0098) or the office manager, Ken Surley.
