Ministry & Membership Inquiry

Milford Church of God

We are delighted that you are interested in learning more about becoming involved at the Milford Church of God. Your interest in lay ministry and church membership is to be commended.

While church membership will not make you a Christian, it will make you a more accountable Christian, which is both biblical and a part of becoming a true disciple of Jesus Christ. Your involvement in ministry can also deepen your relationship with Christ and your community while allowing you the privilege of becoming an active part of the “Royal Priesthood.”

We believe every member of our congregation should be actively involved in some form of ministry—serving others. As part of the membership process, you will learn more about our church, our beliefs, and ministry opportunities through our New Connections Class (Class 101).

Please take a few moments to complete this questionnaire. The information submitted through this form will be kept confidential and used as part of the ministry and membership process.
