13.3 Membership

Believers gain membership in their congregation’s Regional Church upon receiving the sacrament of Holy Sealing. A member’s transfer to a congregation of another Regional Church establishes membership in that Regional Church.

Church membership is terminated by a declaration of secession from the Church, in accordance with the legal regulations applicable to the Regional Church. Readmission to the Church requires the consent of the District Apostle or Apostle.
