To Become a member at Faith...

1. Believe in Jesus Christ – Each person desiring to be a member of Faith will be asked to answer a few basic questions about salvation and write a brief testimony of believing in Jesus.

2. Be baptized as a believer – As Baptists, we firmly believe that baptism is a symbolic act of obedience. It is a beautiful picture of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We require that you have been baptized by immersion (under the water) since the time you first believed in Christ.

3. Complete the membership class – We offer a one-time membership class one Sunday a month, from 11am-3pm. In the class, we share tons of helpful information about our church. We will also share what we expect of you as a member and what you can expect from us as your church. It is taught by our pastors. Lunch and childcare are provided during the class.

4. Complete a membership meeting – After you have completed the membership class, we ask that you fill out some basic information forms, review the membership book and prayerfully consider becoming a member at Faith. Once you have decided to join, we ask that you schedule a membership meeting with one of our pastors. The meeting can be arranged by calling our church office or e-mailing the pastor you will be meeting. During the meeting, he will review your testimony of belief in Jesus, sign the membership agreement and answer any final questions you may have. It should take 30-45 minutes.

5. Be presented to the congregation – Once the other steps have been completed, we want to celebrate with you through a brief “commitment time” and welcome you to our church. We will present you to the congregation through a special time at the end of the Sunday Morning Worship Service.
