New members are welcomed into the congregation at least 
twice a year-Fall and Spring. Individuals and families who are 
interested in joining the church are invited to participate with 
the Pastor and ruling elders in a series of three classes to 
explore what it means to by a member of the Presbyterian 
Church of Mount Kisco. Individuals discuss their faith journey 
and their intention to participate actively in the life of the 
church. Sponsors (church members) are assigned to 
prospective new members to assist the individual or family in 
getting to know church programs and the congregation.
 
An orientation session is held to give new 
members an overview of the Presbyterian 
Church of Mount Kisco, activities, and volunteer 
opportunities. New members are recognized at 
a Sunday service, during which they profess 
their faith and declare their intention to 
participate actively and responsibly in the 
worship and mission of the church. 
 
They are then welcomed into the life of the congregation and 
commissioned for full participation. After the service, a special 
coffee hour in held to welcome the new members.
