Exploring Membership

Ready to join Rumple? Here’s the new member form you will need to complete. You may submit it online.

We welcome all persons who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to join the congregation of Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church. As prescribed by our PC(USA) denomination, you are invited to become a member in one of the following ways:

  • By profession of faith: If you have never been a member of a Christian church, you may join by professing your faith in Jesus Christ. For any who have not been baptized, you may receive this sacrament.
  • By reaffirmation of faith: If you have been a member of a Christian church, and your membership is inactive, you may reaffirm your faith in Jesus Christ.
  • By transfer of membership: You may join by transfer of membership from any Christian church, regardless of denominations
  • Full Membership.
  • Affiliate member: Because we have many seasonal residents, we have established the category of affiliate member. If you live elsewhere and are a church member of a church in that community, you may choose to affiliate with us. Many of our affiliate members take active roles in our service projects, on committees, and much more while they are in Blowing Rock. Affiliate members receive our newsletters and mailings year round.
