How May I Become A Member
Perhaps you have been wondering about church membership for yourself. Persons who present themselves at the conclusion of a worship service may be welcomed into the church in one of five ways:
PROFESSION
OF FAITH AND BAPTISM
Any person who professes faith in Jesus Christ
as Lord and Savior, and is baptized by immersion shall be received into the
membership of United Baptist Church.
LETTER
A believer who is in accord with the principles
and practices of this church may be received by transfer of letter from any
church which hold to regenerate membership (faith professed in Jesus Christ)
and baptism by immersion.
STATEMENT
OF EXPERIENCE
A Believer who is in accord with the principles
and practices of this church and who has been a member of a church which holds
to regenerate membership and baptism by immersion but who, for sufficient
reason, cannot present a letter from that church may be received upon statement
of prior experience.
RESTORATION
Any person may be restored to membership upon
recommendation of the Church Council and the vote of the church.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
Those for who membership is impossible by any
of the foregoing means because of physical or mental limitations may be received
as members upon the recommendation of the Church Council and the vote of the
church.
