Why Join Douglas?
Embarking on the journey of joining a church is a meaningful decision, filled with possibilities and reflections. It's natural to wonder, "Will I find my place here? Will I be invited to be part of a group? What are the expectations for me? How can I contribute?"
These are thoughtful inquiries, and we eagerly invite you to join us in every possible way. However, we also ponder our responsibilities: "Can we support each other as we navigate Christ’s teachings together? Can we meet the hopes you bring with you?"
Rest assured, as you step forward, we will walk alongside you, nurture your spiritual path, and help you uncover the unique gifts God has bestowed upon you. Together, we will grow in faith and community.
"Experience Community, Faith, and Growth: Join Us This Sunday!"
What Does it take to join?
Why a small church?
But wait... there is more...
While we may not have the large-scale programs typical of mega-churches, we believe our small church offers an equally, if not more, engaging experience. We provide our children and grandchildren with fantastic educational and play opportunities, fostering a joyful and nurturing environment. Our Choir actively involves everyone, creating a harmonious and welcoming atmosphere. Through our events, we come together to reach meaningful realizations. Our outreach programs make a positive impact on the local community, spreading the gospel in an open and inclusive manner. That's why our motto is, "Come to Learn, Leave to Serve." Join us in this inspiring journey!
What is a committee?
In the Presbyterian Church, committee work is the primary mechanism for decision-making. We uphold the principles of democracy, which necessitate the selection of representatives to facilitate the church’s governance. Engaging in committee work offers a rewarding experience, as it fosters the development of deep and meaningful relationships that transcend the duration of a single worship service.
Joining a church is a big step, and it’s essential to take your time to find a place that feels right for you and the church community. If you have been visiting us, you are already a cherished part of our faith family. We warmly invite you to become an official member, but we understand the importance of seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit in this decision.
For this reason, we offer new member classes, designed to deepen your understanding of our church’s rich history, both at the denominational and local levels. These classes are more than informational; they are an opportunity for you to share your unique story. We want to embrace you fully, just as you come to know us.
As you take this step, we will joyously introduce you to the congregation, and you have our unwavering promise to walk with you on this spiritual journey, together, as the Body of Christ. We look forward to supporting and nurturing your faith as you explore what it truly means to be part of our church family.
