How to Join

We are glad for your interest in First United Methodist Church-Conroe. You may join the church at the end of worship services when the invitation is given to come forward and be received by one of the pastors. You may also join by attending one of our New Connections Gathering Classes which are held throughout the year and be received into membership in a small group setting. Our pastors are glad to discuss questions of faith or membership, get to know you, and/or receive you into membership. If you would like to speak to a pastor, you are encouraged to make an appointment.
