Why be a member?

Deepen your faith. Find community.

At Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, we believe that faith is not a solitary journey; it's about coming together to worship, learn, and serve as a community. Becoming a member is an opportunity to deepen your faith and find a supportive and encouraging community that shares your commitment to living out your relationship with Jesus.

Why Be a Member?

Deepen Your Faith. Find Community.

As a congregation, we strive to be a source of support, strength, and encouragement for your faith journey. While membership is not a requirement, it can significantly enrich your faith experience and your sense of belonging. By becoming a member of Mount Calvary, you commit to living out your relationship with Jesus in community with others who share your devotion.

Membership Privileges and Responsibilities

As a member of our congregation, you will have the privilege and duty to:

• Receive and engage with the Word of God and participate in the Sacraments, including baptism and communion.

• Seek to live a faithful life in accordance with the Word of God and our Lutheran tradition.

• Support the work of our congregation and the broader Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) in accordance with your means.

Additionally, membership grants you the right to vote on important decisions during our Annual Meetings and other occasional member gatherings. This active participation in our church's governance allows you to have a say in the direction and decisions we make as a community. Please note that nonmembers or associate members do not have voting privileges.

It's important to emphasize that membership is not a requirement to worship or be involved at Mount Calvary. Everyone is welcome to join us in worship and participate in our various activities and programs, regardless of membership status.

We host informal "Welcome to Mount Calvary" events several times throughout the year to help our new community members get to know each other and our church better. During these events, we'll delve into our church's values, the Lutheran tradition, specific ministry areas, and ways to become actively involved in our vibrant community.

In the meantime, we invite you to share your contact information using the forms provided below. This will help us connect you with the life of our congregation and keep you informed about upcoming events and opportunities.
