Membership


 
Farmington Baptist Church is a body of believers whose heartbeat is to follow Jesus Christ and who have a fervent commitment to fulfilling the purposes set forth in our Mission Statement. If you desire to join with us and will be supportive of the beliefs, fellowship, and mission of our church, we warmly invite you to become a member. 
 
Here are the three steps to becoming a member:
 
 
  1. Present yourself for membership during any Worship Service when the service when the invitation is given at the end of the message. Our Pastor will invite those who desire to become members of Farmington Baptist   Church to come to the front of the Worship Sanctuary. Pastor/Elder/Deacon will greet you, pray with you and answer questions you may have.
 
  1.  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/or 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 at Farmington.

 
               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. Farmington will contact that church to notify them of your
                decision and request your letter.

              
Statement of Faith  
 
               If you know in your heart that you have previously experienced
               Salvation by receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord, we will be happy to 
               receive you. It will be necessary for you to be baptized at Farmington 
               if you have never been baptized by immersion after your salvation
               experience or if you were baptized in a church which holds a
               different view of salvation, baptism, or eternal security than
               Farmington.

   
  1. Attend the class for new members  
   
This special orientation class for all new members will give you essential information to help you become a fulfilled, functioning member of our church. Charting out a plan for your first year at Farmington, this classwill show you how to begin building relationships in our church and will help you understand all the benefits and responsibilities of membership.
       
After you have completed these steps, we will joyfully receive you as a member of Farmington Baptist Church and you will begin to fully enjoy the benefits and blessings of being a part of or family of friends.
 
 
See you at church!
