What each step means
-
Newcomers coffee
The easiest first step: about half an hour to meet Pastor Filipp, hear the vision of the church, and ask anything.
-
Baptism
Baptism is a public confession of faith in Jesus (Acts 2:38). If you have put your faith in Christ and want to be baptized, tell us on a Sunday.
-
Membership
Membership is how you say: this is my church family. Members commit to belong, grow, and serve together. Talk with Pastor Filipp to start.
-
Infant dedication
Parents can dedicate their children to the Lord, as Hannah dedicated Samuel (1 Samuel 1:28). Ask us about the next dedication.
-
Serve
Every believer has gifts to give. Find your place on a ministry team.

Baptism and membership questions
Before you take the next step
How do I get baptized?
Tell Pastor Filipp or anyone on our team on a Sunday, or send us a note through the contact page. We will talk with you about what baptism means and plan it together.
How do I become a member?
Start with Newcomers coffee, then talk with Pastor Filipp about membership. Membership is a commitment to belong, grow, and serve with this church family.
What is Newcomers coffee?
A relaxed half hour to meet the pastor, hear the heart of the church, and ask anything. It is the best next step after your first visit.
I was hurt by a church before. Should I come?
Yes. Do not paint the whole church from one bad encounter. Come, see, and talk with us. We would love to listen.
