MEMBERSHIP
Any person baptized in the congregation is considered a baptized member.
Any person who is a parishioner in another Episcopal Church another church in communion with the Episcopal Church (for example the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) who wishes to become a member of SEA Episcopal Church may do so by requesting a letter of transfer from their previous congregation. The vicar can help with this request.
Any person who wishes to become a member of SEA Episcopal Church and is not a parishioner in either another Episcopal Church or in a church in communion with the Episcopal Church may establish membership by having proof of their baptism recorded with the church office. Please see the vicar to do this.
Membership in SEA Episcopal ends either with death or with the transfer of a to another congregation. Inactive members are those who have not participated in the life of the congregation in the previous year.
Members, also known as communicants, are considered active members, or communicants in good standing, if they have been faithful in corporate worship and faithful in working, praying, and giving for the spread of the Reign of God in the past year.
Adult communicants are those sixteen years of age and over.
“No one shall be denied rights, status or access to an equal place in the life, worship, and governance of this Church because of race, color, ethnic origin, national origin, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, disabilities or age, except as otherwise specified by Canons.” (Canon I.17.5) Other than minimum age requirements there are no barriers for full participation in the Episcopal Church or at SEA Episcopal Church.
