By Baptism:  If you are not baptized and seek to be part of Christ’s body, the Church, please tell the priest.  Preparations and arrangements will be made for you.

            By Letter of Transfer:  It is customary in the Episcopal Church that when you move from one parish to another, you so do by Letter of Transfer.  This can be accomplished by the Parish Secretary requesting a Letter of Transfer from your former parish.  Once the Letter of Transfer is received, you become a member of St. Matthew’s.

            By Confirmation:  By attending the Inquirer’s Class and being presented to the Bishop to be confirmed by him, at his yearly visit.

            By Reception:  Be attending the Inquirer’s Class and being received by the Bishop.  This is done if you have been confirmed as a Roman Catholic or in any Eastern Orthodox Church or the Church of Sweden.
