Steps
There are four steps to becoming a Redeemer member. They are as follows:
Step #1
Membership Class. This four-hour class is where you will learn about the history and vision of Redeemer, acquaint yourself with its ministries and opportunities, and dialogue with Michael and other congregants on questions you may have about the church or Christian community. Here you will also be introduced to the Biblical foundations of our five membership vows.
Step #2
Membership Application. Following the class, you will be sent an online application to complete which is based off of the course material covered in Intro to Redeemer Lincoln Square. Individual applications must be completed before moving on to step 3.
Step #3
Membership Interview. Meet with one of our pastors (45 to 60 minutes) for your membership interview. Our staff will work with you to schedule an appointment. If recommended for membership, your name will be submitted to the monthly Session meeting for approval. Married couples who both profess the Christian faith will interview together, and both spouses need to complete Steps One and Two to move on to the interview.
Step #4
Vows & baptism. Take your membership vows at a worship service. If you have not been baptized before, your baptism will be scheduled for the same service.
