How May I Become a Member?

By Profession of Faith and Baptism: If you will receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord and follow Him in baptism by immersion, we welcome you into our fellowship.

By Letter: As a Baptist whose church membership is elsewhere, we will be pleased to welcome you into our church family should God direct you here. We will happily take take of the appropriate details by transferring your membership.

By Baptism from Another Denomination: If you know in your heart that you are saved and want to become a member of the First Baptist Church of Perry, we invite you to join by baptism. This gives testimony of your salvation and your obedience to His direction.

By Statement: In the event church membership records are not available for a transfer of membership, or if you were once a member of a Baptist Church, but are presently a member of another denomination, we will gladly accept you as a member upon your statement of your personal faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior, having been baptized in a church of like faith and practice.

You may express your desire to fulfill any of the above by presenting yourself during the invitation at the close of each worship service. Of course, any decision assumes your commitment to being faithful in prayer and participation in our Lord's work here at First Baptist Church.
