Asbury United Methodist Church - Corpus Christi

At Asbury our desire is to help you "Connect" in a way that will make your membership here more meaningful. Because of this, we have developed a process that assists in growing your relationship to Christ as well as the other members of the church.
When you commit to Christ, we all win!

Our Discipleship Process has four parts that are like the bases on a baseball diamond.

Hit a home run and you will:

Know Christ

Grow in Christ

Serve Christ

Share Christ

Along your trip around the bases you will meet team members who support you and will cheer for you every step of the way.

1^st Base: Commit to Membership!

Attend a "Welcome to Asbury" Session

This is a one-time informal gathering with the pastor and others interested in joining Asbury focusing on:

Basic BELIEFS of Asbury Church

Things you need to know to BELONG to Asbury Church

What we are trying to BECOME at Asbury Church

Become a Member

On a subsequent Sunday after attending Welcome to Asbury, you may transfer your membership from another United Methodist Church by choosing to reinstate your Methodist vows or, after speaking with the Pastor, profess your faith for the first time and become a member of the church.

2^nd Base: Commit to Maturity!

After the ball is in play, you will be coached to develop the skills necessary to grow in Christ to become an integral part of God's team.

Attend 2^nd Base Class

This is two classes on the four 'Holy Habits' necessary for spiritual maturity which include:

Worship

Study of scripture

Prayer in your devotional life

Fellowship through small groups

3^rd Base: Commit to Ministry!

Go to Bat for Others. Learn your personal strengths so you are placed in the optimal position to serve Christ.

Attend S.H.A.P.E. Class

This is two classes to discover your unique shape to serve Christ through your:

           Spiritual Gifts
           Heart
           Abilities
          Personality
         Experiences

Home Plate: Commit to Mission!

Hit it Out of the Park. Go out into the community and share the good news about Christ. Invite those you meet to come play on Asbury's team!

Sharing Christ

A two-part class on Sharing Christ with the world.

The natural result of hitting a home run is 'Mission Mentality'. This is the understanding and acceptance of the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:37-40) and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) as the underlying motivation of your life and the reason for the church's existence.

Remember: There is no credit for being left on base!

Welcome To Asbury

You were designed to be a part of a church family. And that's exactly what Asbury Church is intended to be: Your Family. That's why at Asbury we want to share with you what we believe and where we're going.

"Welcome To Asbury" is the basic introduction to our church family. This is a great opportunity to learn about Asbury Church, meet the pastor and get to know others, and have some dessert as well!

You don't have to become a member to attend it; it's just for your information. We'll answer your questions, share information on our church's future plans, and how you may become a member. After the session you decide whether to become a member or wait and decide at another time. No pressure whatsoever, we want you to be comfortable with whichever you choose to do.
