Coffee with the Pastors
You can become a member of Church of the Resurrection at any of our quarterly classes.
Coffee with the Pastors is a casual gathering where you can learn about the history of Resurrection, hear from our pastors about the beliefs and traditions of the United Methodist Church, and get to know the church a bit better.
You will also get to meet your Congregational Care Ministers (CCMs), connect with fellow Resurrection worshippers and learn about opportunities to serve, connect and grow!
After you've met our pastors and learned about the church, there is a short break, followed by an optional membership ceremony for those who decide they want to take that next step and join Resurrection.
Upcoming Coffee with the Pastors events:
- November 27, 2018: Register here
