Membership
Become a part of our Church family!
We invite you to be a part of an upcoming Stepping Stones class. Over three weeks together, we will look at the history and governance of our denomination, discuss Presbyterian worship and theology, and get a glimpse of what’s happening in our congregation. To sign up for the class and unite with this community of faith, contact Elaine Keckeissen at 215-348-3531 (elainek@dtownpc.org).
We are called to serve and welcome all people into participation in the life of our community of faith regardless of age, gender, race, ability, or even belief. We understand the church to exist for the benefit of the world, and not the other way around. We also understand the church to be the body of Christ: a collection of people with different gifts and abilities who share a common faith and are committed to doing the work that God has called us to in Christ. For this reason we invite into active membership all those who call Jesus, Lord, and who desire to be a part of what God is doing through DPC and through the Church universal.
“The incarnation of God in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ gives to the church not only its mission but also its understanding of membership. One becomes an active member of the church through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and acceptance of his Lordship in all of life. Baptism and a public profession of faith in Jesus as Lord are the visible signs of entrance into the active membership of the church.” – The Book of Order, PC(USA)
