Membership at First Baptist Church

We are so excited that you are interested in joining the community of believers called First Baptist Church. Joining a local church is such an important step in following Christ. God made us to live in community with one another, doing life together! At FBC, we look forward to welcoming you into the family where God uses each of us to lead people to know Christ and to make Him known. Every person who joins FBC should meet three important criteria.

A follower of Jesus Christ We believe that the church is not a building, but a body of committed followers of Jesus Christ doing life together. The first and most important step in any person's life is placing your faith and trust Jesus Christ. For more information on how to make this decision, please contact us.

Baptized by Immersion as a Believer Baptism does not contribute to a person's salvation but it is very important because Jesus commanded us to do it. Jesus Himself was baptized (giving us an example) and then commanded that we follow after His example once we become believers. Baptism is highly symbolic of a new believer leaving his or her former life in sin and embracing the new life found in Jesus Christ.

Completing Membership At FBC, we recognize that those seeking to join come from various places leading them to this point. Because many new members come from different faith backgrounds or little to no faith background, we have created an Orientation process for membership. Through the Orientation process, we will visit, at a time convenient for you, covering who FBC is, our Mission as a family of Christ-followers and the basics of what we believe. One of our Elders or Ministry Staff will speak with you and we know you will enjoy learning about FBC as we learn about you. If you have any questions about how to become a member, please contact us.

A Great Commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission grows a Great Church
