How to Join

The New Member Class is open to everyone, no matter where you are on your faith journey.

Membership at Hyde Park is a public affirmation of your commitment to Jesus Christ and support for the ministries of this church and the United Methodist Church.

Are you ready to take the next step in your faith journey, which God has been leading you on since before you knew it? Membership here is a gift from God, and it is our privilege to be part of your journey.

Step One: Participate in the six-week class

The new member class is six weeks long. Sessions are based on our mission of “Making God’s Love Real,” God’s vision for our community and your journey as a disciple of Christ. We meet online in a Zoom meeting. For information about upcoming classes, please contact  John Barolo, or by phone 813.253.5388 ext. 1231.
