The Invitation

At each of our Worship services, the pastor will lead the congregation in a time of prayer and public invitation for those seeking a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and/or to those seeking membership. At this time, we will have members of the Altar Response Team available to meet with you and discuss your decision.

Why do I need to join?

At FBCC, we recognize the need for formal membership as discussed in the Bible. Formal membership in a local church is important for three reasons:

    1. Biblical reason:  In Acts 2:44 we learn that “All the believers were together and had everything in common.”  Ephesians 5:25 states, “Christ loved the church, and gave His life for her.”   Membership in a local church is an important step in demonstrating our commitment to Christ.

    2. Personal reason: Membership enhances spiritual growth. The New Testament places a significant emphasis on the need for Christians to be accountable to each other in order to grow spiritually. A person cannot be accountable when they are not  committed.

     3. Practical reason:  Membership helps to establish the identity of your family and community.  It is also a qualification for positions of leadership within the church.


While visiting FBCC, we pray you will consider the benefits and privileges of membership with a community of believers. Our prayer is that you will join a church where Christ would have you serve.   Perhaps He would have you join our commitment to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
