Membership Process
Church membership is about submitting to one another and representing Jesus Christ together in the local church. The Bible teaches that membership in a local church is one of the most basic ways that Christians follow Jesus. The New Testament points us toward a clearly defined church membership for our building up, accountability, and encouragement in faith. Membership in our church is a step by step process enumerated below.
The Foundation Baptist Church Membership Class is a commitment of two consecutive Sundays. It will give an overview of who we are and what we believe as a church. This is an ideal class for those who are new or those who have been attending and would like to become a member.
This class is required for membership.
