How Do I Join?

This question has two different answers...one is the actual process of joining the church and the other is the different forms of membership.

The actual process:

Method 1: You can actually join the church in several ways.  The most common method of joining the church is by coming forward at the end of a worship service.  At the end our services,the pastor always offers an "invitation" to people to make spiritual decisions.  You can simply come to the front of the church and you'll be greeted by a pastor or one of our deacons.

Different forms of membership:

When you join our church, you can do so in several different ways.

• Profession of Faith: You can join by "profession of faith."  If you’ve never made a commitment to Christ and been baptized by immersion, then you’ll want to “profess your faith” and join by being baptized. You’ll want to join by “profession of faith”

• Statement of Faith:  A statement of faith simply means you have already made a commitment to Christ, but in another denomination than Baptist and been baptized by immersion as a believer (not as a child).

• Letter  If you are a member of another Baptist church we will be happy to “move your letter.” This phrase is rooted in the tradition of mailing an actual letter to your old church requested your membership be moved to First Baptist.  If you join by "moving your letter," we'll send for the letter the next week and you’ll be taken off the membership roll of your old church and made a member here at First Baptist.

• Watchcare  Watchcare is a program for temporary residents in the area where they can come under the "watchcare" of our church while maintaining their home church membership.  Temporary workers and college students often find this is the method that suits them
