Sheriff for a Day
We need to get a list of people willing to “patrol” the Family Life Center during the worship service. We need to make sure no one is in the building while worship is going on. To do this job you must be able to easily walk up the stairs to the youth area. Any youth or church members should be encouraged to go to the worship service or vacate the area unless there are extenuating circumstances, such as an illness or special counseling. A brief training session will be on Sunday after the morning worship service. Please sign up now for this special ministry.

How to Join Meadowridge Church
There are three ways you can unite with us in membership:
1. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and be baptized.
2. Ask for your membership to be transferred from another church.
3. By stating that you are a follower of Christ and have been Biblically baptized (by immersion, understanding the symbolic nature of baptism).
All of these are normally requested at the close of the service by talking to the pastor during the closing hymn. You can also talk to the pastor at anytime during the week or before or after the service about your desire to become a member.
