Join The Church
Membership at Suntree United Methodist Church?
Membership is open to anyone who professes Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, is baptized in any Christian denomination, and will commit to growing in their faith. If a person is not baptized, the new member coordinator will arrange for the baptism to occur when they join.
Discover Suntree
Are you interested in learning more about Suntree UMC, it's values and ministries? Join us for Discover Suntree 101/102, a two hour interactive session to dig deeper into the life of this wonderful church. These will be hosted periodically throughout the year.
Discover Suntree 101/102 walks you through the beliefs and core values of Suntree as a United Methodist Church and learn more about our various ministries and become empowered to get connected. The following Sunday after each Suntree 101/102, you will have the opportunity to join the Church in the membership of Suntree during Worship.
Here is a list of our next Suntree 101/102 Classes:
- Sunday, August 4th | 4pm - 6pm

*The Wednesday classes are designed to be taken together because of the shorter length of the classes.
Membership Sunday
After attending the Suntree 101/102 Class, we will schedule you for an upcoming Membership Sunday where you will officially join the church by taking the Membership Vows and being welcomed by the congregation. After that, we hope you will continue to faithfully participate in our ministries by your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness.

The Benefits of SUMC Membership
Friendships - Making and having friends that share the same beliefs and values helps us all navigate through this amazing, but sometime difficult, life.
Opportunities to Make a Difference – As a collective resource, we have opportunities to help others and make a difference in our church, community and the world.
Accountability - Members that receive good biblical teaching learn to make good decisions, are held accountable by just showing up, and being reminded of their core beliefs.
Sense of Community – Many of us live in isolation so much so that we don’t even know our neighbors. Being a SUMC member provides opportunities for interactions with other people & creates a social community.
Personal Development - Whether you are new Christian or have been a Christian for a long time, SUMC can offer church leadership, discipleship and spiritual development and growth.
Social Events - Whether it’s a Life Groups, Sunday School Class or Journey, we have opportunities to participate in church events with friends and other church members.
