The following videos and accompanying guide "So, You're Becoming a New Member..." are for persons interested in becoming members or who perhaps have just become new members of Kettle Moraine United Presbyterian Church. The videos and guide are also helpful as a "refresher course" for current members or anyone else who wishes to learn more about Presbyterianism and the Reformed Christian faith!
The video clip below will cover the following topics:
(There will be short 20 second pause as this first video loads. This is normal. Please be patient.)
- Three ways people join a Presbyterian church.
- Why are people joining the church today?
- How do you become a member?
- What is expected of you?
In the next video clip below, you will be given a brief overview of the history of Presbyterians in the USA.
You will see that ours is a church that is both diverse and inclusive.
This is one of our greatest strengths and also a constant source of tension.
In the segment below, you will hear several Presbyterians speak
of where they were in their own faith journey when they joined the church.
You will be introduced to what Presbyterians believe.
You will also hear about our Book of Confessions.
While our Confessions are important standards,
they have to be tested against Scripture and the authority of Christ
as Scripture bears witness to our Redeemer.
The clip below is an explaination of how the Presbyterian Church
is structured, always remembering that Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church!
Topics covered:
- PCUSA is a representative government.
- The office of elder is vested with authority.
- Ours is a connectional system.
The last clip below talks about Mission.
This is the reason for the church.
Christ calls us to go out into the world to make disciples and serve others.
You will hear people talking about mission
as a congregation responding to community needs
as well as doing mission in other ways.
