Our heart is for people to move from being regular attenders to active participants in our church body. It's kind of like coming out of the stands as a spectator and onto the field as a player. In the church body there are no spectators, only players.
We invite you to seek church membership one of the following ways:
- By coming forward during the music at the end of the message in one of our Sunday morning services
- By appointment with one of our Pastors. We will set a time to come to your home or for you to come to the church office.
- By meeting with our Senior Pastor during our First Baptist 101 class.
The three essentials for membership are:
1. Beginning a personal relationship with Christ, having, by faith, trusted in God's grace for salvation. (This means you have received Jesus Christ as your Savior & Lord or you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior & Lord.)
- Admit your need (I am a sinner). Romans 3:23
- Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). Acts 20:21
- Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave. Romans 5:8
- Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior). Romans 10:13
2. Being biblically baptized (by immersion that is symbolic in nature).
3. Completing First Baptist 101, a course provided to individuals for the purpose of them becoming informed about, and involved in, the life of First Baptist.
