Would you like to become a part of us? We’re glad you’re here...but more than that, we would like for you to become a part of our caring church family. Here’s how…

• On Confession of Faith...Should you desire to make public a commitment to Jesus Christ, you may come expressing that and asking for membership in our church through baptism.

• By Transfer of Letter...If you desire membership in our church and are presently a member of another Baptist Church, you may join on the promise of a letter.

• By Statement of Faith...If you have had a prior conversion experience and been baptized according to the New Testament (immersion of a believer as an act of obedience), you may join by statement of your faith.

• By New Testament Baptism...If you are a Christian but have not experienced New Testament baptism, you may come requesting baptism into the church.

• By Watchcare...Persons not wishing to become members of FBC but wishing to express a formal relationship to the church body may enter the life and work of the church under Watchcare. These persons should respond to the invitation indicating their desire.
