The Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) believes that
any adult ten years old or older can become a member of
the church. While we do offer classes for our young
people who seek church membership, you do not have to have
classes to join. At each Disciples service, an invitation
to membership is offered. You can just walk forward
and join LCC, either by declaration of faith or transfer
of membership from another spiritual community. Nothing else
is required.
If you have questions about joining the church and what it
means, simply talk to one of our pastoral staff. They
would love to sit and talk with you about church membership
and your own spiritual questions.
It should be noted that LCC is an “open and affirming” congregation. We
extend membership to all people, regardless of sexual orientation. We
also have ordained gay and lesbian clergy, the first Disciples
church in our region to do so.
Finally, we have members who attend who identify with other
faith traditions. Our community is one where we may agree
or disagree theologically, but have always valued being in
relationship with one another over being “right.”
