Membership

I'm interested in becoming a church member.

Membership in Parma Christian Fellowship is open to all who believe in Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and seek to join a body of other Christians to further God’s kingdom.

There are two different membership opportunities.

Fellowship Membership is open to any person who has made a personal decision to place their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation, with the outward evidences of baptism and testimony, and who wants to be included in the identity of Parma Christian Fellowship Church. For children and youth under the age of 16, a parent, guardian, or other adult very familiar with the person must provide supportive testimony as to the personal faith and spiritual awareness of the candidate. Any person who is a member of another church or community of faith may request a letter of transfer from that organization to Parma Christian Fellowship Church, and join as a Fellowship Member.

Church Membership is open to any person who has been a Fellowship Member of Parma Christian Fellowship Church for a minimum of 3 months, and who are 16 years old or older.

What To Expect

What happens at Annual Meeting?

We start with a potluck dinner and have some time to talk with our church family. After the dinner we will begin the meeting and go through our agenda. We do a vote on Leadership Team members and the budget for the coming year.

What about my kids?

Kids are welcome to attend the event. During the meeting, we’ll have some teens here to watch the kids so you can attend the meeting.

What can I do to help?
