Membership Application

Thank you for attending the Membership Class!

This next step in the membership process is intended to guide your interview with the Elders. Your answers on this form are simply a starting place for your time and conversation with them. Your interview is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and to pray together. Please fill out the form for each individual, not as a couple. Be sure that your name and correct contact info are displaying at the top of this form. If not, log out of Church Center, and make sure you are logged in as yourself.

If you have any questions about membership, please contact staff from your local congregation:

Barrie: Pastor Matt Maw matt.maw@emmanuelbarrie.org or Kathy Slessor at kathy.slessor@emmanuelbarrie.org.
Orillia: Jackie Torrie Jackie.Torrie@emmanuelorillia.org or Pastor Russ Worrad Russ.Worrad@emmanuelorillia.org.
North Barrie: Paige Torrie Paige@emmanuelnorthbarrie.org or Pastor Jordan Wilcox Jordan@emmanuelnorthbarrie.org

Contact information collected will be used by Emmanuel for communication regarding this and other events, ministries and programs. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information.

A Healthy Body of Believers

A healthy church is made up of committed members who build one another up, through the use of their spiritual gifts. As we serve together, we further our God-given mission.

Tell us about how God had equipped you to serve the body of believers: *

Are you currently serving? Are there ways you would like to be involved?

Do you actively participate in giving to the church? *

A healthy membership also reflects God's overwhelming grace to us in the way we give to bless others, and to resource our church's mission. While details are kept confidential, we believe giving is an important act of worship for members.

I have read the Operating By-law *

Next Steps

After you attend the membership class and complete this form, we will set up an interview with you and two Elders. It's an opportunity for you to get to know them and they you, and for you to ask questions. When couples are becoming members together, the Elders usually meet with both at the same time. After a successful interview, your name is published in the bulletin for 2 weeks, for approval by the current members. If no concerns are raised, you will be welcomed into membership.

Upload a quality photo

Please upload a high-resolution photo of you. We may use this on the screen on the Sunday we welcome you into membership, or it will simply help us keep organized about who is who. Thanks!!
