How does one become a member of Tikvat Israel?
Basic membership requirements are: • a) Attending Shabbat services on a regular basis • b) Attending a home group on a regular basis • c) Accepting some functional responsibility in the congregation (e.g. building maintenance, nursery, Oneg, etc.) • d) Tithing (10%) of gross income to the kingdom of God • e) Attending a multi-week course, called Foundation Series, taught semi-annually by members of the congregation (also available on cassette) Finally, prospective members must be presented to the congregation. For someone transferring from another congregation, a letter of transfer must be provided (or a reasonable excuse why one cannot be obtained must be provided).
