How to become a Member?
Ours is a community of baptized believers in Christ and we are committed to fulfilling the purposes set forth in our Mission Statement, To lead people to make Jesus Christ the center of their lives. If you wish to join :
- Present yourself for membership during any Worship Service when the invitation is given at the end of the message.
- Express your desire for membership through one of the following means:
Profession of faith
If you have never received Jesus as Savior and Lord and never publicly confessed Him, you will be given an opportunity to do so. After your decision has been confirmed, an appointment will be made for your baptism.
Transfer of membership from another Southern Baptist Church
If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, we will receive you as a member upon promise of a letter from that church.
Statement of faith
If you have previously made a public decision, acknowledging that you have received Christ as your Savior and Lord, we will be happy to receive you. It will be necessary for you to be baptized at The Village if you have never been baptized scripturally.
Watchcare
Watchcare is a relationship which entitles a person to the fellowship and care of the church, but without voting and office holding privileges of membership. Any person making this area his temporary residence may present himself/herself as a candidate to come under the watchcare of the church upon statement of prior conversion experience and baptism in another Baptist Church.
