Abstract: The study deals with the question of church membership. At present, according to the Constitution of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia, a member of a church must meet ten conditions altogether in order to become a full member of the church. This regu-lation has been outgrown by time and church practice. The present study explores and studies the current regulation of church membership in various Christian denominations. It also pays particular attention to and reviews the main stages of the regulation of church membership in the history of Reformed law. It highlights the conditions that are identical in each legal regulation and presents the current proposal of the Legal Commit-tee of the Synod of the Reformed Christian Church in Slovakia to simplify the legal defini-tion of church membership

Keywords: Reformed, Reformed church, church membership, suffrage, full church membership
