The Bible tells us Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it (Eph. 5:25b); it
also records that as people were saved they were added (joined) to the church
(Acts 2:47b). God wants believers to be part of a local church. Here are ways to
become a member of our church.
By Baptism
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, you need to obey Him by
being baptized (immersed). Following your baptism, you will be a member of
this church.
By Letter
If you are a member of another Baptist church, you may request we write that
church stating you have come by letter into our church. They in turn will
send us a letter confirming you have been a member there, transferring your
membership from their church to ours.
By Statement
If you have committed your life to Christ and have been biblically baptized by
immersion, you can request that we receive you into membership by statement
of prior confession and baptism.
