Thanks for submitting your member introduction. What's next?
The next step is to ensure that you have signed and returned the church covenant to Hannah Koschel (hannah@tcgreerstation.com) or Aaron Markham (aaron@tcgreerstation.com). If you have not already done that, then please complete the covenant. If you have already turned in the covenant, you do not need to do anything else.
With the signed church covenant and the member introduction, the next step will be to have an elder interview . You can expect to hear from one of the elders to schedule this with you. After the elder interview, the elders will then determine your qualification for membership and recommend you to the members of TCGS through an email 2 weeks prior to our next Members Meeting.
Then, at the Members Meeting, the congregation will vote on you as a member.
Finally, if the congregation votes to accept you as a member, you will be presented before the church for public affirmation and prayer, which will normally happen at a Sunday morning gathering.
