Pathway To Membership
Email Pastor Stephen:
stephen@freestonebaptist.com
Pastor Stephen and at least one other church leader will schedule a time to meet with you.
We will discuss and explain our membership commitments, hear the story of how God saved you, see what areas of church life you may be interested in participating or serving in, and answer any questions you might have for us.
We believe that baptism is the immersion in water of a believer as a confession of his faith in Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4) and is a prerequisite to church membership and participation in the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41, 42).
Baptism means you are choosing to go public about your decision to trust Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins and the Lord of your life. This is the next step after trusting Jesus.
If you have previously been scripturally baptized you can skip this step.
Upon completion of these steps, and review of your Membership Interview, Pastor Stephen will recommend you to the church body for full membership in Freestone Baptist Church.

What is Baptism?
Baptism means you are choosing to go public about your decision to receive Jesus Christ as the forgiver of your sins and the leader of your life. It’s the next step after salvation.
We believe that baptism is the immersion in water of a believer as a confession of his faith in Jesus Christ (Matt. 28:19; Rom. 6:4) and is a prerequisite to church membership and participation in the Lord’s Supper (Acts 2:41, 42).
