Belonging to the Family
"So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God." — Ephesians 2:19
What is Membership?
At The Federated Church, membership is more than having your name on a list. It is a commitment to a shared covenant—a promise to support one another in faith, to grow together in the knowledge of Christ, and to serve our community with open arms.
Our Commitment
"Believing in Jesus Christ, we accept his teachings as the guiding principles of our lives and consecrate ourselves and our Church to their fulfillment."
The Path to Membership

A Unique Union
Joining Federated means being part of both the Presbyterian Church (USA)and the United Church of Christ.We draw from the richness of both the United Church of Christ and the Presbyterian Church (USA) to create an ‘Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Arms’ community. By joining our federated congregation, you don’t have to choose between traditions; instead, you become part of a unique spiritual home that blends the very best of both denominations.
