Becoming a Member of Duke Memorial
Membership at Duke Memorial is for those who are committed to following Jesus Christ and to contributing to the church’s vision and mission:
Duke Memorial United Methodist Church is a Christ-centered, vibrant and vital congregation, a sign and foretaste of God’s kingdom in downtown Durham, that
Invites and accepts unconditionally all who seek community and a place to belong; encourages and guides people to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior;
Responds to God in dynamic, hopeful worship through proclaiming God’s word, celebrating the sacraments, offering praise through music, song, and dance, and lifting our voices in prayer and thanksgiving;
Nurtures spiritual growth and discipleship in children, youth, and adults through engaging Christian education and warm and caring fellowship;
Bears witness to Christ’s love through members’ daily life and work, in family life, and in acts of justice, service, and compassion to our brothers and sisters in this community and around the globe.
