How to Become a Member
At Broadus Church, we welcome everyone to join us in worship, study, and fellowship. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or seeking a new church home, we’re here to walk beside you as you grow in your relationship with Christ.
Becoming a member is a meaningful step that signifies your commitment to follow Jesus and to live out your faith within a loving church family.
Three Ways to Join Broadus Church
The first and most important step in becoming a member is a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that:
- Jesus is the Son of God who came into the world, died on the cross for our sins, and rose again.
- Salvation is God’s gift of forgiveness and eternal life for all who believe and follow Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Following your profession of faith, you’ll have the opportunity to be baptized by immersion — a beautiful symbol of new life in Christ. While baptism is not required for salvation, we believe it’s an important act of obedience and public witness to your faith.
If you’re already a member of another Baptist church, you may join Broadus Church by transfer of letter.
This simply means your previous church will notify us that you’ve moved your membership to Broadus. It’s a way of affirming your faith journey and continuing your commitment to serving Christ in a new church home.
If church records are unavailable, or if you’ve previously been baptized as a believer, you may join by statement of faith.
We gladly welcome those who profess their personal faith in Jesus Christ and have followed Him in believer’s baptism, even if documentation from a previous church isn’t available.
Why Membership Matters
Church membership isn’t required for salvation, but it’s an important and sacred step of faith and belonging.
Becoming a member means:
- Identifying with a family of believers
- Committing to grow in faith and service together
- Strengthening your witness to the community
At Broadus, we open our doors to everyone. Whether you choose to become a member or not, you are always welcome to join us in worship, Bible study, service, and fellowship.
