Need to clarify on church membership : my wife is a amember of a church, but not me - is 1 parent acceptable, or does it have to be both parents ?


Many thanks

I think its either parent. There are other conditions to fulfill for some affliations (reg uner 2B). Its better to check with your wife's pastor/church org to be sure.

I agree. Check with the church.

For my church, BOTH parents plus the child must be BAPTISED & members of the church.

Just for our knowledge here, other than baptising, in what other ways you & your family have to be involved in the church to be qualified to be under the 2b?

Thanks!

Thanks! :D[/quote]For my church, parents have to be active members in one of the fellowship for at least a year before baptism/transfer, and then at least one more year after that to be qualified to apply under 2B.

But if I recall correctly, also need to be active in some committee (e.g. mission work, Sunday school, volunteer work, Youth Service, etc).

Different churches have different 'requirements'. If you really want to go through this way, you must be ready to commit.

If you are aiming for Fairfield, you'll need to enquire with the Methodist churches.

Active members in my church are refering to those who not only regularly attend sunday services, but also attend prayer meets, as well as actively participate in fellowship activities (bible studies, visitations, ministries, missions, retreats etc). Even when it requires only 1 parent to be its member, the other parent must also be a baptised member of a church.

But as mentioned earlier, pls check with your church specifically. They may have different conditions
