"Church membership is established in the Baptismal Covenant. Membership is shaped Christian discipleship which requires intentional support and accountability for following and serving with Jesus Christ in the world."

Membership Management and Directory

We maintain a membership directory that includes all four.

Michelle Rizza, Membership Secretary, maintains a master WORD document of the directory names with physical and email addresses. It is sent out to the membership periodically with updates via email distribution and paper copies as required. Please let Michelle know when there are changes that need to be made. 

Reach out to Michelle if you would like to be added to the email distribution or would like the most current version of the WORD directory. 

Prospect publishes a pictorial Membership Directory periodically.  The last was published in 2017. 

Please note that names in the membership directory are selected to be Families of the Week for special prayer attention.  This is displayed in the Sunday Service PowerPoint, bulletin, and posted on Prospect's Facebook page.  via phone or email.
