Witness: Hospitality and New Members
The Witness ministries of the church give attention to developing and strengthening evangelistic efforts of sharing personal and congregational stories of Christian experience, faith, and service; communications and other means that give expressions of witness for Jesus Christ. This group helps to contact first time visitors, organize newcomer events, and make sure our prospective members know the warmth of DUMC.

WITNESS WORK AREAS:

  • Contact Visitors- Members of the Committee contact our first time visitors welcoming them to Dilworth and help witnessassimilate them into our congregation.
  • New Members Sunday- New Members Sunday is the 4th Sunday of every month. Persons who wish to join may contact one of the pastors prior to that day or come forward at the end of the service when the announcement is made.
  • Ministers’ Coffee- This class is an information session about the church. It is offered on the 2nd Sunday of each month at 10 Am in the Senior Minister’s office.
  • New Member Social- A New Member Social is held 2 to 3 times each year. All new members since the previous event are invited. This is usually held in the home of one of our members and is an opportunity to get to know others in the church in a relaxed and informal setting.
  • Fellowship Friends- New members are assigned a Fellowship Friend who helps get them involved in the programs and ministries of Dilworth.
  • Fall Festival- Held in October, the Fall Festival is a way of inviting the Dilworth Community to join us for a time of fun, food and fellowship.
  • Bring a Friend Sunday- Once a year, we designate a Sunday as Bring-A-Friend Sunday. Everyone in the congregation is encouraged to bring a friend with them to worship.
  • Nametag ministry-witness provides ordering envelopes, ordering and delivery to members who purchase nametags and provide nametags to new members as they join.
