The elders review every membership application. Each applicant then meets individually, married couples meet together, with two elders. You will have the opportunity to sign up for a time slot after attending the membership class. During the elder meeting, the applicants are encouraged to ask any questions they may have about GEBC. No decision about membership is made during the meeting. Elders debrief with the entire board before a decision is made. Once a decision is reached concerning your application, the board will extend an invitation for membership by email.
