Expectations for Membership:

At The University Church we understand membership to be a covenant of responsibility within the community. 

Members covenant to:

• Worship regularly
• Continue to grow in the faith by participating in small group studies
• Serve God by volunteering within the church family, the broader community and throughout the world
• Support the ministries of the church financially, in proportion to their income

Baptism:

In the University Church family we understand Holy Baptism to be a covenant between an individual and God.  Persons of all ages can be baptized at The University Church.  Nonmembers are encouraged to join the church family after being baptized.  We recognize baptisms performed within other expressions of the Christian faith.  To arrange a baptism, the first step is to contact us at 419-534-3080 or by email.

Confirmation:

We understand confirmation to be the time when a personal decision is made to confirm the vows of baptism.  In The University Church, this typically happens as a group of students join together for a series of explorations in the faith, followed by a ceremony in which students publicly declare their commitment to Christ and their wish to become full adult members of our church family.  Contact us to find out the details of our 2007-2008 confirmation journey at 419-534-3080 or by email.

The University Church offers two types of membership:

Member:  A member is one who has committed to the covenant of responsibility with The University Church and who has no ongoing relationship with another church family.

Adjunct Member:  An adjunct member is one who has committed to the covenant of responsibility with The University Church and also has an ongoing relationship with another church family.  Adjunct membership may be appropriate for persons who:

• belong to a church in their home town and yet will be in the Toledo area for an extended period of time (for example, college students)
• live part of the year in the Toledo area and part of the year in distant location
• have a historic family tie with a church and yet are regular participants in the life of The University Church
