Starting Point

We want to help you take your next step to getting connected at Dudley Shoals!

The new members process gives us, as the church, a chance to share our vision, values, beliefs, and expectations with our new friends. It gives them a chance to interact with these - and to share their faith story.

Church is the place where we hope to be known, challenged, and cared for. Becoming a member tells the rest of us, and especially our leadership, that this is the church family we want to be a part of and shepherded by.

God gives each of us natural gifts (our personality, talent, abilities, and passions) by birth and by life experience. He gives us spiritual gifts by grace and by rebirth. These are not meant for ourselves, but are most purposeful when we use them for the service of others as part of the church.
