How to Join FUMC

A Profession of Faith and Baptism

If you have never joined a church before, we will receive you by profession of faith. If you have not been baptized, we will be happy to baptize you. We will ask you to repent of your sin, receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, and if you intend to lead a Christian life. When you answer "I do" to these questions, you have made your profession of faith. We will also ask you to be loyal to the United Methodist Church and uphold it by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness. Your answer is "I will."

TransferING from Another Denomination?

We recognize your baptism and profession of faith from your previous denomination. We believe that your coming to join FUMC is a statement of renewal of your faith in Jesus Christ. We will ask you to be loyal to the United Methodist Church and uphold it by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, and your service. Your answer to this question is "I will."

Transfering from Another United Methodist Church?

We are happy to receive you by transfer from another United Methodist Church. We believe that your coming to unite with First Church is in itself a statement of renewal of your faith and commitment to Christ and the Church. We will notify your previous church and inform them of your decision to join First United Methodist Church of Fairbanks, Alaska.
