Family is important to us here at Living Hope.  Membership means family!

Our Membership Matters Course is offered a few times throughout the year.  If you are considering membership at Living Hope or just want to know more about us, we invite you to attend our next course. Email Pastor David Shaw at dshaw@livinghopewillmar.org to stay informed and be notified when we have our next class.

Membership at Living Hope is more than a simple statement of where you worship.  It is a commitment to the mission and ministries of Living Hope. Members serve together as we experience intimacy with God, influence in our community and impact in the world with the gospel of Christ! As you connect with this local body of believers, you can develop a deeper sense of significance and belonging in the family of God.

Process of Joining Our Family

There are a few steps we ask every individual to take as part of the process of joining our community of faith family here at Living Hope.

The best way to get to know our heart and get a real, in-depth view of our culture and community is to attend our Membership Matters Course.

Using the button above in the header, contact us to get started, stay informed, apply for membership.

A Membership Application provides us with information about your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and involvement at Living Hope. You can complete the form online, and you will receive access to that form after you have completed the class.

After you attend the Membership Matters course and your application is received, you will be asked to schedule a time to visit with a couple of the elders in a "get to know you" session.

Upon completion of a membership interview, elders will recommend your membership to the congregation at the next Congregational Meeting. Living Hope members will be asked to approve the recommendation(s).
