Church Membership

How to Join Our Church

Step 1:
Attend Regularly

We’d love for you to start regularly attending our Sunday morning worship service and consider plugging into a Sunday school class. Our morning worship service is foundational, and you’ll develop deeper relationships in our small group Sunday school classes.

Step 2:
Discover FBC

Periodically, we offer a Discover FBC class for those interested in learning more about membership. In this class, you’ll meet others interested in the church and learn about our commitments, beliefs, leadership, and ministries. Attending Discover FBC does not obligate you to join, but it is required for membership.

Step 3:
Membership Interview

Following the membership class, you’ll be invited to meet with one or two pastors for an interview. Don’t be intimidated! This is simply a time for us to hear your story personally and answer any questions you have about the church. During the membership interview, we will help guide you through the next steps to joining. For some, it may be learning more about continued discipleship or baptism.

Step 4:
Belong

Upon recommendation to the congregation from our pastors, candidates for membership are brought before our church during our quarterly church conference meetings. During these times, the congregation will collectively affirm the Lord's will for adding new members to the flock.

Why Church Membership?

Membership in a local church is biblical. It is rooted in an OT understanding of the people of God and understood in the New Testament concept of those united in Christ and committed to “one anothering.” It is commanded in passages regarding assembly and accountability with other believers. It is viewed in metaphors of the church as a body, a family, a flock, and a temple.

What is Church Membership?

Membership in a local church is covenantal. Church membership is a commitment between believers in a local body, marked by agreement in belief and behavior, care for one another, and submission to spiritual leadership.
