Visitor Class

Held multiple times throughout the year, Discovering Shallowford classes invites potential new members to dive into Shallowford’s mission and vision, and discuss the Christian faith in the 21st century. Shallowford seeks to be a fully inclusive congregation: affirming of LGBTQIA persons, calling people of all genders to church leadership roles, taking a stand together against racism and systemic injustice, and working together for a world that better reflects the peace God envisions for us. We believe that God’s grace is for everyone, and we are called to lives of faithful gratitude. 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:

  • 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 worship.
  • 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 reaffirming your faith in Jesus Christ.
  • By Transfer of Membership – You may join by asking Shallowford to request a transfer of membership letter from your former church.
