Membership

Anyone who worships on a regular basis at Christ Church is considered to be part of this congregation whether or not they officially become a member, however, all people are invited and encouraged to officially become members of Christ Church through transferring of membership from another church, baptism, or confirmation at Christ Church. Membership is not required to participate in activities or be considered a part of this parish family.

Monthly, we offer a Tour/Orientation to Christ Church on Sunday mornings for those interested in knowing more about Christ Church. The class is from 10:00 AM to Noon, followed by brunch.  If you would like to be a part of this class, please let us know by by contacting Christy Letanosky at letanoskyc@christchurchcharlotte.org or 704-714-6972.

Transfer of Membership:
If you have been a member of an Episcopal church or any other denomination, your membership can be transferred to Christ Church by contacting Christy Letanosky at letanoskyc@christchurchcharlotte.org or 704-714-6972.

Baptism:
The basic requirement for "membership" in any Episcopal Church is baptism. The Episcopal Church recognizes baptism which occurs in all other Christian denominations. Written notification of baptism from a different Christian church is sufficient. People desiring to be baptized at Christ Church may contact one of the clergy members or call the church office at 704-333-0378. Click here to learn more about Baptisms.

Confirmation:
"Confirmed" indicates that a person has undergone laying on of hands by an Episcopal Bishop in a congregational worship service. When someone has been confirmed in another Episcopal congregation, a letter of membership can be transferred from the previous congregation. When someone has been confirmed by a Bishop in the Catholic, Lutheran or Eastern Orthodox Church, that person can be received by an Episcopal Bishop in a service. This annual service with one of our Bishops is scheduled for Sunday, June 5, 2011. Adults will be confirmed or received in the 8:30 AM worship service. Youth (8th graders) will be confirmed in the 10:30 AM service.

The Adult Confirmation and Inquirers Course begins in February. Sessions are held primarily on Sunday mornings in the Chapel from 10:00 - 10:50 AM. The Course also includes several Sunday evenings at Christ Church with dinner. These classes are for any adult who wishes to be confirmed in the Episcopal Church, for any confirmed Episcopalian who wishes to learn the basics of faith, and for anyone who simply wants to explore what we believe. The classes explore the basics of Christianity (God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, history of the Church, etc.) as well as the way the Episcopal Church lives out that basic faith through worship according to The Book of Common Prayer, Bible Study, and service to others. Registration is required. Please email Jenny Beaumont at beaumontj@christchurchcharlotte.org or call 704-714-6945. For more information, contact the Rev. Martha Hedgpeth, 704-714-6955 or Jenny Beaumont at 704-333-0378.

Our 8th grade students typically are enrolled in confirmation classes as a group each fall.
