If you want to be a part of helping us make disciples by helping people know, follow, and serve Jesus here and around the world, then we encourage you to consider starting the membership process.

WHY SHOULD I JOIN A CHURCH?
Joining a local church is an important step for all believers who desire to grow in their walk with Christ. Not only is it an important step, but it is also a needed one for all believers because it provides community, accountability, and opportunity to maximize one's gifts for God's glory.
WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS FOR MEMBERS OF FBC?
Membership is not a light matter. It is more than just putting your name on a role; rather, it is a commitment that you are making to a group of people. That comes with a high calling, and at the same time, all who are followers of Christ are called to be members of a church. In short, all prospective members must be willing to commit their time, energy, and resources to further the mission of Christ through FBC.
HOW CAN I JOIN FBC?
If you are interested in joining FBC, or learning more about it, please reach out to Pastor Steven or Kyler Astor. After meeting with the pastor and attending the Starting Point New Membership Classes, there are several ways a person may join First Baptist Church:
  1. By profession of faith in Christ and baptism into the church as a follower of Jesus.
  2. By a letter of recommendation from another Baptist Church of like faith and order of which you were a member.
  3. By restoration based upon a prior conversion experience and baptism in a Baptist church of like faith and order when no letter is obtainable.
  4. If coming from another Christian denomination, by statement of a prior conversion experience and believer’s baptism by immersion. If baptism was (a) not by immersion or (b) not done as an act of obedience symbolizing one’s faith relationship with Jesus Christ, then the person requesting membership must be baptized.
