Membership

In the Episcopal Church, membership is defined as follows: “All persons who have received the Sacrament of Holy Baptism with water in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, whether in this Church or in another Christian Church, and whose Baptisms have been duly recorded in this Church, are members thereof.” One’s Baptism is to be recorded in the parish register to be counted as a member. If you have previously been a member of another Episcopal parish, please ask that parish to transfer your "letter of membership" to Good Shepherd. If you were baptized in another denomination, you can simply let us know that you want your baptism recorded here at Good Shepherd, and we can record that. Please contact Father Kyle if you have any questions.
