What does membership mean at Plymouth?

​Membership at Plymouth is a sign of our connectedness with each other and with God. By joining the church we affirm our intention to be in covenant with one another in Christian community and with God. Members are stakeholders in the whole life of the congregation including voice and vote in matters of calling ministers and affirming church resolutions. Join us in our covenant to live life together!

New Member Covenant

In the presence of God and these witnesses,
I give myself unreservedly to God's service
and take this to be my church. 
Ever mindful of the welfare
​of my brother and sister members,
I promise to walk with them
in faithfulness and Christian love. 
I promise, so far as I am able,
to attend the services of this church,
​observe its sacraments,
support its benevolences
and endeavor to make it a
fruitful body of Christian people.

Congregational Covenant

We, the members of
​Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ,
​warmly welcome you:
not to a congregation of the sinless,
but to a living community of faith
that seeks together
to find new ways of being in relationship with God
and enacting God’s intention
for the wholeness of humankind.
We pray that through loving and being loved,
through serving and being served,
you and we together
​may faithfully serve the realm of God.
