“Discovering Shallowford” classes are held multiple times throughout the year and provide visitors or prospective members an opportunity to learn about Shallowford. During this two-part class, we will dive into Shallowford’s mission and vision, and discuss the Christian faith in the 21st century.  Membership is open to all who profess faith in Jesus Christ as Lord, affirm their reliance on God’s grace, and intend to participate actively in the worship and mission of the church, and is not required to attend this class. Contact the church office if you plan to attend.

Shallowford warmly invites visitors to join our family of faith.  You may do so in one of the following ways:

  1. By Profession of Faith Affirm your faith in Jesus Christ before Shallowford’s session and congregation.  The Presbyterian Church (USA) recognizes all baptisms that were performed in the name of the triune God.  If you have not been baptized, we will joyfully baptize you during that Sunday’s worship service.
  2. By Reaffirmation of Faith If you have been a member of a Christian church but have not been active in recent years, you may join by re-affirming your faith in Jesus Christ.
  3. By Transfer of Membership – If you are a member of another church, you may join by asking Shallowford to request a transfer of membership letter from your former church.
