SunRise UMC considers church membership to be a very important step in our Christian walk. The new member classes have been designed specifically to address questions about our faith and relationship with Christ.

Our intent is to help you explore the foundations of the Christian faith and build friendships within SunRise UMC.

Each of the four classes will be one and a half hours long with several time options for you to attend. Each person joining must attend all four of the New Member Classes. Joining Sundays follow the completion of the four sessions and persons can join at any of our services. Childcare is provided as needed.


Does everyone who joins SunRise have to attend New Member Classes?
We ask that every person who attends SunRise attend these classes. Those attending have found them informative and a great way to meet other new people within the church.


What do I need to do to attend these classes?
Anyone interested in joining SunRise should attend the pre-requisite course, Exploring SunRise. The Explore SunRise class is one-time, 90min. session. Please contact the SunRise office to find out when the next Explore class will be held.


When is the next New Member Class?
Upon completion of the Explore SunRise course, anyone wishing to join SunRise can attend the 4-session New Member Class. Please contact the SunRise office to find out when the next New Member classes will be held.


Who can I talk to about joining? I’m not sure if I’m ready…..
Pastor Jim Blue at 978-2727, or jdblue@sunrisefamily.org or Pastor Tammy Herman at 978-2727 or therman@sunrisefamily.org are always available for you to ask questions and find out more about SunRise. Everyone interested is invited to attend these sessions.
