New Song Church aims to embody these Christian morals and values. When anyone struggles in these areas, the body of Christ is a resource for prayers and support. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we can strengthen and encourage each other to stay on the Christ-like path. Individuals desiring membership who are experiencing challenges in any of these areas should seek guidance from the Holy Spirit and consultation with church leadership.

New Song Church leadership reserves the right to suspend membership privileges if requirements are not met over a six month period and to withdraw membership if deemed necessary. Decisions regarding membership have no bearing on an individual’s eternal salvation, and refer only to one’s standing within New Song Church and any privileges and responsibilities held therein.

Membership Benefits: Upon request, and in consultation with church leadership, members in good standing are welcome to the following privileges:

  • New Song Church clergy to officiate at weddings, funerals, christenings

  • The right to vote at church meetings and review financial statements

  • Access to the benevolence fund

    If you are interested in becoming a member, we look forward to hearing from you.
