The New Members Class is a four-week course designed for anyone interested in learning more about Diakonia Christian Church and considering membership. Whether you've been attending for years or are brand new, this class will give you a thorough understanding of who we are and how you can get connected.
Week 1: Our Story — The history, mission, and vision of Diakonia Christian Church. Week 2: Our Beliefs — A walk through our Statement of Faith and core theological convictions. Week 3: Our Life Together — Church governance, membership expectations, giving, and the role of community. Week 4: Our Call — Discovering your spiritual gifts and finding your place of service.
Each session includes a catered lunch, a 45-minute teaching, and time for questions and discussion. At the conclusion of the four weeks, participants who wish to become members will have the opportunity to meet with a pastor and share their testimony.
The class is offered quarterly (January, April, July, October). Completion of the class is required for official membership but does not obligate you to join.
