Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the United Church of Christ believe?

Understanding can be gained by reading the "We Gather to Worship" on the Welcome Page.

Q: How do I become a member?

Any individual who has been Baptized, can be received by letter of transfer from another Church, by affirmation of faith, or by reaffirmation of faith. Members are received at least quarterly.

An individual who has never been Baptized, can speak to the minister about the opportunities to experience this symbolic rite of passage before joining.

Q: Do I have to join to participate?

No, you are always welcome to worship with us and to join in outreach or any of the groups.

If you hesitate to join because you are an ordained minister of the word in another Church, you can join as an Associate Member and still retain the office in the other denomination.

Q: What is expected of me if I do join?

Members testify to their faith in God, promise to follow in Jesus' ways of love and justice, and commit themselves in covenant to one another and to the United Church in Santa Fe.

Other commitments:

Regular attendance
Participation in life and ministry
