Membership

First Baptist Church has a formal membership policy that goes beyond attendance and involvement. Although anyone is welcome to attend and participate in First Baptist Church’s ministry, we have a formal membership process that allows members to participate in decision-making and leadership responsibilities. Membership demonstrates to the community that a person has united with our church in ministry and fellowship. We desire that all who are involved in our church at any level of participation commit to membership and join us in serving Christ.

To become a member of First Baptist Church, one must first make a public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Second, that person must follow his/her profession of faith with believer’s baptism (baptism by immersion).

A person can join First Baptist Church in one of three ways:

1. By Profession of Faith

and Baptism

When a person accepts Christ and is baptized, he/she joins our fellowship.

2. By Transfer of Letter

If a person is already a member of another church, he/she joins our church by expressing this desire before the congregation. Our church staff handles the details of transferring the letter of membership for you.

3. By Statement of Faith in Christ

If a person is a member of another evangelical denomination, he/she joins First Baptist Church by publicly expressing his/her desire to unite with us in membership.
