Our church follows the model of the early church as recorded in the Book of Acts. As you read Acts 2:42-47, there is one word that leaps from the page - together!

 

"All the believers were together."

"Every day they continued to meet together."

"They broke bread in their homes and ate together."

 

 

We want to have it "together" here at Webster Gardens. God calls us to be together with Him, to worship together, to read, study and reflect on Scripture together, and to serve and love others together. Our Connections Team is primarily responsible for bringing people together and connecting them into the life and ministry of the congregation.

 

There are two key steps to our membership process:

Discovering the Faith this is an 8 session class taught 3 times a year (Winter, Summer, Fall) about the basics of the Christian faith as seen from a Lutheran perspective. Anyone can attend these classes; there is no commitment required. Together we will discover who God is, His call in our lives, His desire for us, and especially His love for us. All who are coming to Webster Gardens from a non-Lutheran background take this course prior to membership.

 

Discovering Webster Gardens: Discovering Webster Gardens follows Discovering the Faith (DTF). All who become members at Webster Gardens (those who have completed DTF and those who are coming to us from other Lutheran churches) take this 5 session class. Together in this class we learn Webster Gardens' mission and some very practical discipleship tools: how to pray, how to read the Bible, how to be in ministry, and how to share our faith.

 

After completing Discovering Webster Gardens we have a celebration on New Member Sunday. Our partnership will continue as we seek to connect and involve people in relationships and ministry. God knows that living life by yourself is way too dangerous. As Robert Tuttle said, "To get singled out is to get picked off." We are here together!
