Membership & Baptism

You do not have to be a member of Ashford United Methodist Church to attend services, celebrate communion, attend special events or participate in ministries.


If you have never been baptized, you will prepare for baptism.


If you were baptized as an infant or young child and have not made a profession of faith and been confirmed, then you will prepare to reaffirm your baptism when you take the membership vows.

If you are a member of another part of the church (such as Baptist, Presbyterian or Lutheran), then you can transfer your membership from that church to Ashford.


If you are a member of another Christian church that does not transfer membership, you can make a profession of faith and be received as a member.


Talk with Pastor Irv or the office staff about becoming a member of Ashford United Methodist Church. They will be able to answer any questions you may have and help you discern what next steps to take.
