Membership
Becoming a member signifies your commitment to God and to this church.
If you are a regular attender at the church, and have been attending for at least six months, you are eligible to become a member. This means you are publicly committed as a member, and able to vote at Church meetings and serve on Church Council.
When you become a member you may indicate your denomination or you may choose to describe yourself as a 'Member of the Church in Great Notley.'
To become a member, you are invited to take part in a short Membership course run by Rev'd David and Rev'd Rachel to find out more about what this commitment entails.
