How do I become a member of the church?  
Membership matters! When we join a local church we commit ourselves to a group of Christians to advance the gospel, encourage one another, use our spiritual and practical gifts, hold one another accountable, and so much more. When we accept a member into our church, we testify to the world that they belong to Christ and that we will equip and encourage them toward looking more like Him. 
 
Here are the steps to becoming a member:
1)Talk with a pastor or deacon to schedule a time to talk about your testimony, learn more about the church and the expectations of a member.
2) Present yourself as a candidate for membership by:
a) Publicly proclaiming your faith in Christ as your Lord and Savior through believer’s baptism.
b) Submitting a membership letter from another Southern Baptist church.
c) Giving a statement of your faith in Christ and your Lord and Savior and of prior believer’s baptism.
3) Be voted into membership at a business meeting.
