Welcome! There are 3 steps to become a Redeemer member.
- STEP 1 -
INTRODUCTION TO REDEEMER & CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
There are 2 ways to get started on this:
MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION
Individual applications need to be submitted before moving onto Step 2. (Married couples should log in under separate email addresses to submit individual applications.)
Option 1: You will be guided to fill out some short answer questions as you watch the five membership videos (each 20 min long). Your submitted answers will be automatically converted into your membership application.
Option 2: After you complete the class, you will need to log in to fill out some short answer questions online.
- STEP 2 -
Meet with an elder from your congregation (45 to 60 minutes). Our staff will work with you to schedule an appointment. If recommended for membership, an elder will submit your name to the monthly Session meeting for approval.
- STEP 3 -
Take your membership vows at a worship service. If you have not been baptized before, your baptism will be scheduled for the same service.
TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP
You should notify your previous church when you decide you would like to become a member at Redeemer. Even if you are coming from another Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) church, you must go through all 3 steps listed above.
Former churches may send a letter or certificate of transfer to:
Membership Coordinator
Redeemer Presbyterian Church
1359 Broadway - 4th Floor
New York, NY 10018-7102
The letter/certificate should say:
- you are a member in good standing, and
- they are releasing you into Redeemer's spiritual care
Under our bylaws, Redeemer does not allow dual membership - that is, membership in Redeemer and any other church, even if that church is a PCA church.
