We have shifted how we're doing our new members class. This now class is called Foundations. It dives a little deeper into what we believe as a church. We are currently in the middle of our foundations class, but will be starting a new session in the new year. 

We are so excited that you have taken an interest in becoming a part of the family at JICC. The goal of our New Members class is to learn more about what we believe as a church, connect with people, and provide a space to ask questions.

The New Members Class lasts for 11 weeks, followed by an interview with one of our elders. Over the years of our church, we have had various classes and resources that we have used in our mission to make disciples of Jesus, to bring people into maturity in Christ, and practically, to bring people into membership at JICC.  For the last couple of years, the elders have discussed the need for a longer and more intentional process of receiving new members and more thoroughly instructing in sound doctrine in areas that we previously skimmed in the membership class.  We are excited to be launching Part 1 of this new course.

At the end of class, we will set up an interview with one of our elders. This provides a more individualized space to ask questions and articulate your statement of the Gospel. Being a part of this class is also a statement, affirming that you see yourself as a member of this body and that it's your desire to go deeper in relationship, in service, and dedication to see the purposes of God flourish within our community.
