Neighboring Movement
The United Methodist Church recognizes baptisms of other Christian traditions because we believe baptism is a one-time occurrence. If you have been baptized, but have not made a profession of faith as an adult; or you were once a member of a church where you professed your faith but have lost track of your membership, you will make a public profession of faith.
Interfaith Climate Justice
If you have not yet been baptized, in order to join the church, you will be baptized and make a public profession of faith. It is typically done in the context of a regularly scheduled worship service because the congregation plays a critical role in the life of the person being baptized.
La Mesa Collaborative
If you are transferring your membership from another denomination or from another United Methodist congregation, La Mesa First will write your previous church for a letter of membership transfer.
