Once you have declared your interest to join First Baptist Church, you will be assigned a church designated friend who will help guide you through the new member orientation. You may call on this friend regarding any questions you have about the church, FBC staff or just what it is like being a member at FBC.

There are several steps to be taken in becoming a member of First Baptist Church.

1. Accept Jesus Christ as your very own personal Savior.
2. Announce your faith in one of the four categories
   1. Candidate for Baptism
   2. Christian Experience (already baptized by immersion)
   3. Restoration
   4. Watchcare (non-voting member)
3. Complete Four New Members Orientation Classes.
4. Receive the ordinance of baptism by immersion, if appropriate
5. Receive the Right Hand of Fellowship.
6. Complete the eight week long New Members Training Program, "What Every Member Needs to Know."

After completing your orientation and accepting the "Right Hand of Fellowship" we welcome and encourage you to:

• Become involved in Stewardship by serving and by giving
• Become involved in Family Care Circles, NetCare and Clusters
