Why join a church?

  

Church membership is an important commitment because it is a tangible expression of a life that is committed to Jesus Christ.  Church membership has its theological base clearly set forth in the New Testament.  There is no evidence of anyone becoming a follower of Jesus Christ without being committed to the fellowship of a local church with other like-hearted individuals for the spread of the gospel.

Church membership provides a place for service and ministry, gives opportunity for the disciplines of accountability to be properly expressed, and allows the discernment of the body of Christ to take place as the church lives out her mission and ministry in a community.

We would like to invite you to consider making Bethel Baptist your church home.

 

How do I join?

Please speak to a pastor or elder about joining in membership.
 

 

What are the Membership Requirements?

 

1. Agreeing with the Bethel Baptist Church statement of faith.

2. Baptism by immersion. (we can arrange for your baptism if you have not done so already by immersion.)

3. Testimony of a genuine faith in Jesus Christ.

We will also transfer your membership from another church of like faith and practice.

Regardless of your church background, we invite you to speak to a pastor or elder about your decision so we may answer questions you might have regarding membership.  The most important thing is that you have every opportunity to grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ.  We believe that church membership is an important element in this growth process.
