MEMBERSHIP
Payment is due by Thursday, June 11th. Cash, check, or online payment (through Givebutter) is accepted. If paying by check, please make your check payable to "H-Town Squares."
If you'd like to pay online through Givebutter, use the button above. Select "One-time" rather than monthly payment, then type in your custom total owed for membership (see pricing below). On Givebutter, you will be charged a small convenience fee (2.9% + 30¢). However, tipping is optional. If you do not adjust the 15% to "Other" and then change the dollar amount to $0.00, you will tip by default! If this occurs, H-Town Squares will not be able to reimburse you, as that money will go to Givebutter.
Annual Membership begins in June and runs through May (of the following year). It includes the price of summer lessons and name tags for new members, as well as the insurance per member that H-Town Squares is required to pay to the parent organization. If payment is a hardship for you, please email us at infohtownsquaredance@gmail.com regarding splitting the fee into separate payments. Admission will not be required at each dance that new or returning members attend during lessons (June - August). Starting in September, all dancers are required to pay admission ($5 per dance for members; $10 for non-members; $20 family max) for dances. Alumni of H-Town Squares/Grand Squares, with their club name tag, do not need an annual membership, but can dance as guests for a discounted rate of $5 for admission.

GUIDELINES FOR H-TOWN SQUARES
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We affirm these tenets of Christian theology:
1. The Bible is the inspired and only infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is the supreme and final authority for all faith and life. (Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).
2. God is one Being who eternally exists as three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; all of the Persons are equal in power and glory. (Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).
3. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man (John 1:1, 14), born of a virgin (Matthew 1: 18), and was sinless in His life (Hebrews 4:15). He died on the cross as a substitute for sinful men (Hebrews 9:15), rose bodily from the grave (John 20:1-9, 24-3 1; Acts 2:24), and now reigns with the Father (Acts 2:33; Hebrews10:12). He will return visibly and personally to the earth both in salvation and judgment (Acts 1:11; Hebrews 9:28; Matthew 24:30).
4. All humans are sinful by nature (Romans 3:23-5:12) and can only be forgiven by grace through the expression of faith/trust in Jesus Christ as Savior (John 3:16, Romans 10:9).
5. God creates each person as male or female in His image. The term “marriage” has only one meaning: the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union, as delineated in Scripture. Any form of sexual immorality (including adultery, fornication, homosexual behavior, bisexual behavior, transgenderism, and use of pornography) is sinful and offensive to God (Gen. 1:26-27; Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:18; 7:2-5; Heb. 13:4; Matt. 15:18-20; 1 Cor. 6:9-10).
6. The Holy Spirit indwells the Christian, enabling the believer to live a godly life (Romans 8:1-17).
