Here are some frequently asked questions:

Q. What is church membership?

A. Church membership is a covenant relationship between individual Christians who share the same basic beliefs. These Christians take the step of church membership because they are deeply committed to supporting and encouraging one another as they grow spiritually, work together to share Christ with others, and seek to bless their local area and share the world for God’s glory.

Q. Is church membership Biblical?

A. Yes. A church consists of a local group of people trusting in Jesus Christ as Lord. Much of the New Testament is composed of writings to specific churches. In addition, God’s Word provides for specific qualifications for church leaders and gives essential instruction to individuals with the local church.

Q. What is required for church membership?

First, all members must have a personal relationship with God by accepting Jesus Christ as their Personal Lord and Savior.

Second, all prospective members must have been or be willing to submit to Believer’s Baptism. Believer’s Baptism is defined as baptism that takes place after salvation to symbolize what God has already done in the believer’s life. First Baptist Dickinson believes that baptism should be by immersion. A staff member will be glad to follow up with you and give you further information.

Third, you may also move your membership by a transfer of letter.
