How do I become of member of Prestonwood?

Step 1: Walk Forward

At the conclusion of every Worship Service, our Pastor extends a brief time of what we call the “Invitation”—a time to come forward and join Prestonwood. Responding to the Invitation is an essential, simple step in accordance to Scripture, instructing each to make a public profession of faith. If you have small children in our nursery or Children’s Ministry programs, a caregiver or teacher will remain with them until they are picked up.

Should you desire to join the church via different means, you may visit one of our two NextStep Booths located in the Atrium—near the Children’s Ministry Building and on Main Street.

Step 2: Visit with a Decision Counselor

When you walk forward, you’ll be greeted by a Minister and introduced to a Prestonwood member who serves as a Decision Counselor. Typically, there are several other people who make decisions for Christ and church membership, so you will not be alone. Those who are making decisions will be escorted to our Decision Counseling Room which is located just outside the Worship Center. In this very comfortable setting, the Decision Counselor will talk to you individually about your decision (and membership). This usually takes only 5-10 minutes.

Step 3: Be Baptized

If you have never been immersed in baptism as a believer, your Decision Counselor will schedule a convenient date for you to be baptized during the Worship Service of your choice. Jesus asks us to believe in Him, turn away from self-willed living, and be baptized (Matthew 28:18-20). In accordance to His example and instruction (Matthew 3:13-17), baptism is a requirement for membership at Prestonwood.
