Church Membership

Here’s the scenario:

Gabriela and Alejandro Flores and their three children live in your community with their three children.

The children attend your church’s VBS and several make professions of faith.

Your church’s outreach ministry visits in their home and thanks to the bi-lingual couple who connects with them, both Gabriela and Alejandro make professions of faith themselves,

The couple want to be baptized and unite with your church.
