Church Roll

The ‘Church Roll’, sometimes called an Electoral Roll, is the official membership list of G2.

If you’re baptised, consider yourself part of G2 and have been involved for 6-months or more, we’d love you to sign-up. Being on the Roll helps us to know who is connected to G2 and, in the future, it will allow you to vote to elect the members of the Church Council*.

If you have any questions about this form or joining the Church Roll, please contact Hannah Smith (hannah@g2york.org) who will be pleased to help you.

Notes

The Church Roll form is quite easy to fill in but, because it is an official form, some of the language can be confusing.

Your details

• To join the Church Roll, we need your name and address.

• We do not pass your details on to others and we keep your data private (see g2york.org/privacy).

• Entering your email and/or phone number is not required, but it will help us to stay connected to you.

Question 1

• To join the Church Roll you need to be baptised in water (sometimes called 'Christened'). If you are not baptised we'd love to chat about how you can take this step.

• Any person over the age of 16 (that meets the other requirements) can join the Church Roll.

• If you turn 16 in the next year you can complete the form now, but please also supply your date of birth so you can be automatically entered onto the Roll on your sixteenth birthday.

Question 2

• Please indicate whether you are a ‘member of the Church of England’, or a church/denomination ‘in communion with the Church of England’, or you are ‘a member in good standing’ with another Christian church/denomination.

• You are a ‘member’ of the Church of England if you have been Confirmed by a bishop. However, you can ‘declare’ yourself to be a member of the Church of England, which you can do by ticking option 2C!

• The Churches in communion with the Church of England are other Anglican Churches around the world and certain foreign Churches (see this list for more information).

• Please indicate if you live in the Deanery of York (see the map below) or somewhere else.

• Lastly, to join the Roll you need to have regularly attended public worship at G2 during the last six months. If you couldn't do this because you were ill, or some other applicable reason, you can indicate this reason in the notes box.

The Church Council

• G2 Church Council comprises: Hannah Smith, Chri Bevington, Alison Grey, Archdeacon Sam Rushton, Joe McKeogh, Andy Baker, David Casswell.

Please contact Hannah (hannah@g2york.org) if you have any questions.
