Find out what it means to be a member of Bethany Baptist Church. Membership "Fo r just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others." Romans 12:4-5 The bible speaks into our commitment-shy culture and teaches us something deep and meaningful – To believe is to belong to a local church. We express this belonging through baptism and church membership. Membership means far more than regular attendance and is not simply for those who feel they have something to offer. Membership is our commitment to live life together as Christians, as the bible shows us. If you're new to Bethany Baptist Church then we want to get to know you, love and serve you and see you grow in Christ. We would love for you to commit to the church by becoming a member. You can speak with our pastor about membership. Ou r process for becoming a member is outlined below: 1. Membership Clas s We normally ask anyone wanting to become a membe r to attend a membership class that covers the following: What is b iblical church m embership? - Learning what membership is from the bible. Statement of f aith - Explori ng what we believe as a church. Life together - Understanding how Christian belief shapes our practice as a church. 2. Membership Interview After the membership class we ask those wanting to become a member to meet with an elder so that we can talk about the work of God's saving grace in your life. This is also an opportunity for us to consider together the particular gifts God has given you and how you might be able to use them to serve His church. 3. Chu rch Affirmation Following the membership interview, the elders will recommend new members be formally welcom ed into the church during one of our meetings. T his will normally be thro ugh baptism if y ou have not yet been baptised as a believer.
