Joining FBC

How do I join First Baptist Church?  It's Easy:

Request Membership-We receive new members during the invitation hymn at the close of a worship service.  You can become a new member of First Baptist Church...

• By Profession of Faith-Making a public commitment to Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and being baptized by immersion during one of our worship services. 
• By Transfer of Membership-Upon a person's request for membership  from another Southern Baptist Church, the church office will write to the church where your membership is and request that your name be deleted from their membership and added to ours.
• By Statement of Faith-If your membership records are not available (lost or the church has been disbanded, etc.) you may join First Baptist by your statement that you have accepted Jesus Christ and were baptized by immersion after your conversion.
• By Watchcare~If you desire to participate in the life of our church while retaining your membership at your home church, you may come under the watchcare of our church.  This allows you to fully participate in the fellowship of First Baptist, with the exclusion of voting in Church conferences.

You will be presented  to the congregation during the Church Business Meeting following your public request.

After your public request for membership a letter will be mailed to you informing you of our next session of Stepping into Membership.  The class is taught during the Sunday School hour. The class is designed to offer encouragement and information.  Stepping into Membership is not required for membership, but encouraged.
