| | | |  | To worship publicly one true God, to witness to all people the saving grace of God in Jesus Christ, to disciple members toward Christian maturity, to serve persons within and beyond the church in the joys, hurts, and needs, to support the promotion of the Christian faith both in ministries of our Church and in shared ministries with other Christian groups. Our Invitation To You... The people of First Baptist Church join the pastor in welcoming you to our services. It is the prayer of our hearts and the plan of our hands that the service will honor Christ and bless your life. We pray that God's Holy Spirit will speak to your soul and lead you to His will.
If you do not have a church home in this area where you are happily and actively engaged in Christian Service, you may feel the Spirit's leadership to make this church your home. If so, we invite you to present yourself for membership upon one of the following invitations:
...If you have never publicly acknowledged Christ as your Lord, you may be saved now by repenting of your sins and calling upon God to save you as you accept Christ, as Personal Savior. The Bible teaches that when we have accepted Christ, we must confess Him before man. This you may do by presenting yourself to the church for believers baptism and membership;
...If you are a born again Christian and a member of another Baptist Church of like faith and order, you are invited to present yourself for membership upon promise of your letter;
...If you are a born again Christian and a member of a church other than Baptist we invite you to join fellowship through a testimony in believer's baptism;
...If you have been saved and baptized by immersion in believer's baptism into a Baptist Church and are now not active, you may come upon such statement.
The church will extend a public appeal at the close of the service. As God's Spirit leads you, we invite you to come forward and present yourself upon your decision. May God bless you to know and do His will.
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17 |
