Once we receive your application, two elders will arrange a time to meet with you. They’ll want to get to know you, hear how you came to faith, give you time to ask questions and you’ll take your membership vows as a member of Clemson Presbyterian Church pending the Session’s approval. The elders will also ask how they can come alongside of and serve you.
