There are a few different paths to becoming a member at KMC:

If you would like to learn more about becoming a member of KMC, or if you are seeking to deepen or renew your relationship with Jesus, we would be honored to walk alongside you.

Please contact Pastor Neil at Senior-Pastor@kernersvillemoravian.org.

  • Confirmation Class – Typically around age 12, children are invited to participate in a Confirmation Class where they learn about faith, Moravian tradition, and what it means to be part of the church.
  • Transfer of Membership – If you’re already a member of another church, we’d be happy to welcome you through a simple transfer process.
  • First-Time Membership – If you haven’t been part of a church before, but feel called to join our congregation, we’re thrilled to have you.

After you complete a short membership application and submit it to our Senior Pastor, the application is reviewed and recommended to the Unified Board for approval.

Once approved, we celebrate your official welcome during a Sunday morning worship service with a special liturgy and the full support of the congregation. You’ll be greeted by the Unified Board and cheered on by your new church family.

You’ll even receive a welcome packet filled with swag, helpful resources, and information about:

  • The worldwide Moravian Church
  • The Moravian Church in North America (Southern Province)
  • Our theology
  • Opportunities to get involved at KMC

Membership begins with baptism, unless you’ve attended Moravian churches before and have already been baptized. We believe in celebrating every new member with open arms, joyful greetings, and plenty of invitations to get involved.

 

New Member / Inquirers’ Class

Our pastor leads a “New Members /Inquirers’ Class” periodically for individuals interested in learning more about the Moravian Faith, KMC, and becoming a member of our church. Topics include:

  • Overview of the Moravian faith
  • Overview of ministry and life at KMC
  • Living our faith together by giving our hands, hearts, and imagination to God
  • How to be a happy, engaged member through your time, talent, and involvement

This series provides a wonderful opportunity to explore your faith, connect with others, and learn more about the rich history and present-day mission of both the Moravian Church and Kernersville Moravian specifically.

Whether you are seeking membership or simply looking to go deeper, you are welcome!
