Membership at Covina UMC Welcome! I’m glad you’ve decided to explore the possibility of joining our church. My name is Frederick Cook (better known as Fred). I am the Associate Pastor at Covina UMC and I’ll have the pleasure of hosting your brief journey of discovering what it means to be a member of CUMC. Perhaps God is leading you to join us on this journey of faith. God has been bringing us some awesome types of people. Each one adds their uniqueness to the mix of people. We’ve designed a four week course to help you discern if CUMC is the right faith community for you. Although we have much in common with other Christian churches, it is true that each congregation has a personality and emphasis of its own. We want you to make a thought and prayerful decision about your connection with CUMC. Joining a church is a important decision. It is far more important than some groups we could join, for the simple reason the church is the primary way for the Kingdom of God is coming to earth. This is not to say that the church is perfect, because it isn’t. CUMC is no exception. Through the years the church has brought more blessings to the world than any other institution. We are on a mission to spread those blessing near and far. |

First, read through the material online which will tell you who we are, what we believe, and how we are trying to live our faith. If you have any questions during this reading, please email me or give me a call at the church office. Second, complete some paperwork regarding your spiritual journey. Third, attend the Discover Covina seminar which is held every other month. This seminar meets at 9:15 a.m. before the 10:30 a.m. worship service. You’ll meet others who are on their journey of faith. --- I’m ready to learn what it means to be a member of CUMC. --- I’d like to learn more about CUMC and its ministry first. |
