Membership

Q: Why do some Episcopal churches ask you to write to your prior church to have your membership moved and others (like Trinity) do not?

I think there may be some confusion here. If you consider Trinity your home, and you are engaging the gathered community here at Trinity to help you with your spiritual needs, and you consider yourself a member of Trinity Church, then please, write your prior church and have the record of your baptism and confirmation moved to Trinity Church. You can use the form HERE.

Baptism makes you a member. If you are baptized (by water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) then you are a "member" of the Christian church, regardless of where (or how) you were baptized. Trinity, however, should have a record of that baptism.

Information on Baptism and Confirmation can be located on our website. (click links)

If you need help with any of these, please contact me or the church office. It would be an honor to add you to Trinity's membership roll.
