Membership

The United Methodist Chaplaincy is able to help those who wish to enter into Christian faith or into membership in the United Methodist Church.

Those feeling a call toward Christian discipleship and membership in the church can arrange to meet with the chaplain and be baptized into the church. Those who are interested in becoming members of the United Methodist Church can join the church through the AU United Methodist Chaplaincy.
