Become a Member of FUMCCV

The pandemic has taught us many things… one is the importance of our spiritual community that grounds us, comforts us, and guides us during difficult times in life. We know many of you are thankful for FUMCCV during these challenging times, and some of you have found FUMCCV to be your spiritual home only during these last 11 months marked by the pandemic. For those of you new to the congregation, we welcome you and are thankful that God has led you here. If there are any who would like to be members, please consider the following options.

  1. You may have taken the Inquirer’s Course or Orientation 101 in the past and did not become a member at that time, but you are ready now – email Pastor Brian and let him know: brian.parcel@fumccv.org.
  2. You have not taken any of the in-person courses but are ready to become a member or explore becoming a member. Take the online version of Orientation 101 at the following link: https://www.fumccv.org/ministry_adulted-orientation101-online/. Once you have completed all modules Pastor Brian will be notified, and he will be in contact with you.

For those in either of these categories above, we will gather you together (virtually), record the membership ceremony, and then play it in one of the upcoming worship services. If you are not sure which, if any, of the categories you fit in above, reach out to Pastor Brian, and we will make sure to walk you through the process.
