New members join the church in one of three ways: public profession of faith in Jesus Christ (with baptism if they have not been baptized before); reaffirmation of faith; or transfer of their membership from another Christian church.

The process includes a meeting/interview with at least three members of our session and the pastor. We will answer all of your questions about Kirkwood and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and provide you any resources you might need.

After a new member is received, he/she is introduced to the congregation on the next Sunday morning or another convenient time.
