Join Us for Welcome Lunch
SUNDAY MORNINGS AFTER 11 am WORSHIP
Welcome Lunch is a short lunch where you can learn more about what we are about and meet others who are also exploring Sojourn J-Town. If you are interested in learning more about us and finding your place here, this is a great place to start. The Welcome Lunch is not required to join our church but is a helpful introduction before you enter our membership process.
Membership Class
DURING THE 11AM SERVICE
Our Membership Class is a class that takes place on two Sunday afternoons where we discuss our mission, values, and the role of membership. Participation in Membership Class is required to become a member.
Membership Interview
Our Pastors and Staff are called by God to shepherd Sojourn J-Town. One of the ways we shepherd well is by knowing those God brings into our church body. That’s why we do a membership interview with each member. This interview isn’t a test. It’s an opportunity for our leaders to hear your story, learn how to pray for you, and care for you. It’s also an opportunity for members in process to ask questions about the church.
What is Membership?
Membership at Sojourn is not a mere formality but a genuine two-way commitment. It means that you are a part of our family. It means that we belong to each other in love and faithfulness.
Membership means we are committed to you.
As a member, you have a promise—not just from our pastors and leaders, but from all other members—that we will love and care for you. We will build you up in Jesus, speak the truth to you, encourage you, and welcome you. We will treat you like the brother or sister you are to us in Christ.
Membership means you are committed to us.
When you become a member, you promise to care for the church by joining in on our mission, serving and giving, and building up our church body in Christ.
