How to become a
Member of St. Aidan's
St. Aidan’s
welcomes our visitors and hopes they will enjoy our worship, fellowship,
and opportunities to know Christ and make Him known. Some visitors may
wish to join right away, and others may like to visit a few months before
joining officially. If you are ready to become an official new member,
please know:
-
Any baptized
person can be a member of St. Aidan's because baptized people are
members of the Body of Christ regardless of the denomination or
congregation in which they were baptized.
-
If you are
not baptized, speak to Father Rob to discuss your faith and your wish to
become baptized...regardless of age. We have baptisms six or seven
times a year, and we would be happy to have you baptized here!
-
If you are
baptized and/or a confirmed Episcopalian, but your official records are
not on file at St. Aidan’s, we can contact your former church (with your
help) and get a copy of your baptism and/or confirmation and transfer
your record here
-
If
you are not confirmed, which is our ceremony for an adult profession of
faith, please discuss your desire for confirmation with Fr. Rob. If you
were confirmed in another denomination, that confirmation will be
“received” by our bishop at a Confirmation ceremony—which are held at
the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta.
In any case,
help us learn more about you by completing a Parish Information Form (PIF)
below:

There is also a
copy on the newcomer’s table in the narthex—the lobby just
outside the Nave (the worship space). The information will help us get
you connected to the ministries that may be of interest to you.
Plan to attend
a Newcomer’s Dinner, which are held four or five times a year. These
dinners include introductions to other newcomers, as well as the church
staff and leaders. We had one in September, and the next one is in
January. But don’t let that keep you from getting to know people at
church, at breakfast, and in Sunday School.
Please contact
the church office for questions on membership transfer or to make an
appointment to visit with Fr. Rob about membership and faith. Call
