Become a Member
We would love for you to become a member of our Church Family. Here's how:
1. By Profession of Faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord
When a person accepts Jesus as Savior and Lord, he/she is invited to make that decision public and become a part of this fellowship of believers. The person is encouraged to talk with the pastor and make the decision public by coming forward during the time of commitment at the end of each service. This is a public expression of a very personal experience.
2. By Transfer of Letter from a Church of Like Faith and Order
When a person who is from another denomination feels led to become a part of this fellowship of faith, that person is invited to come forward during the commitment time and unite with the church. This person should have been immersed (baptized) in a church that practices Believer's Baptism.
3. By Transfer from another Denomination which does not Immerse
Some denominations practice a form of baptism different from immersion (i.e. sprinkling). In order for everyone to have a shared experience of baptism, we invite the person to be immersed into this fellowship of faith. This is in no way a repudiation of any past experience with Christ, nor is it to suggest in any way that the person has not been a Christian. This is not intended to say that our way of baptism is the "right," but that this is the shared baptismal experience of Baptists. The unity we have as a people of faith is in belief, doctrine and mode of baptism.
4. By Statement
Some have been Baptist in the past and have been immersed. These persons my have gone to other denominations or may not be able to remember where their membership is at present. These persons are invited to join by statement of an experience with Christ and having experienced Believer's Baptism.
