GET INVOLVED @ FOUNDRY

If you have been baptized, you’re already a member of the church. Being part of a particular United Methodist congregation means placing your name officially on its rolls. Foundry regularly offers Foundry Orientations that provide an introduction to Methodism and to the Foundry community. If you have not been baptized and are interested in this, we will be happy to help you arrange it.

In attending Foundry, our hope is that you will be welcomed and given the feeling that you belong, but not feel pressured to join a particular mission or help out with a church program. Many persons, especially those returning to church after a time away, appreciate the opportunity to “hide in the pews” for a bit. Although worship is the central focus of life at Foundry, really belonging to a church means getting involved at some level. Take your time, see what interests you, and join in when you are ready.

FOUNDRY ORIENTATION
Next Foundry Orientation is
Sunday, September 12th

Foundry's Evangelism Ministry Team offers our Foundry Orientation six times a year.  The format focuses on engaging the participants in dialogue to hear how their spiritual journey has led them to Foundry, where they'd like to be involved, and what they need from their church community.  We are asking people to register for the orientation so that we can provide enough materials and have lay mentors for the participants.  Click here for the registration form. You may also pick one up at the front desk.

Orientations are usually held on the second Sunday of the month.  The meeting starts with lunch for all the participants at 12:30 p.m. and we'll end by 3:00 p.m.  For those who wish to join and become a Foundry member, they usually do so on the following Sunday.  

Do you know someone who has attended Foundry for a while, but isn't a member?  You might want to ask them if they'd like to join – and steer them toward attending the Foundry Orientation.  They don't necessarily have to join the church, only have a willingness to learn more about our church.  

We on the Evangelism Ministry Team are happy to answer any questions about joining Foundry, and welcome new ideas on how we might reach out to our neighbors and the community around us.  And we're always looking for more lay mentors to help with the new members!
