Masjid Membership
JFK Masjid Membership is a paid member which allows exclusive voting rights related to JFK Masjid executive board, and advisory.
We encourage our JFK Community to support our ongoing initiatives, programs and events in today's economy.
Our ByLAWs State:
Section 1. Regular Membership. Individual membership will be open to any adult (age 21 or over) self-identifying as Islamic, who either has an Islamic parent or completed an Islamic conversion as recognized by Masjid clergy. Family membership will be open to two or more persons living together, at least one of whom is an Islamic adult as defined in this paragraph, plus any dependent minors (unmarried under age 21, or over age 21 and either attending a program of higher education or in active service in the armed forces). If a non-Islamic person participates in a family membership, then a death or divorce in that family will not terminate any non-Islamic member’s right to remain a member of the Masjid.
Section 2. Associate Membership. Associate membership will be open to any non-Islamic person with heartfelt affinity for the Masjid and its values. Affinity will be confirmed by Masjid clergy based on interview and personal experience with the applicant after a period of discernment confirming that the applicant’s beliefs and spiritual practices are respectful of and consistent with Masjid values, and that he or she will not proselytize or undermine the Islamic character, practice or values of the Masjid. Except as these bylaws otherwise provide, associate members will have equal rights and responsibilities as regular members.
Section 3. Voting. Each individual adult member (whether regular member or associate member) in good standing will be entitled to one vote, and family memberships in good standing will be entitled to two votes.
Section 4. Good Standing. A member is in good standing if he or she, or the family unit in the case of a family membership, is current in its payment obligations to the Masjid and otherwise complies with Masjid rules. Being current with dues payment means that dues for the year are paid, or that the member is current on an approved payment plan.
$52.32 will be charged which also includes Paypal fees.
