Meaningful Membership
If the Bible is the cornerstone of our church, then membership is the cement that holds us all together. Both Christ and Paul pointed us toward membership for our encouragement, our protection, and our instruction.
Membership is a mutual agreement (covenant) to partner together as disciples on mission. It means being part of a family—investing your heart, sweat, prayers, money, time, laughs, and hopes in the growth of FBC’s people and mission.

FBC Membership Covenant
Trusting that we have received the Lord Jesus Christ through Divine Grace, and given ourselves wholly to Him, and on professions of our faith have been buried with Him in baptism and thus united to His church, we do solemnly and joyfully covenant with each other.
By the aid of the Holy Spirit:
We will walk together with brotherly love, exercising Christian care and watchfulness over each other, participating in each other’s joys and bearing one another’s burdens and sorrows with tender sympathy.
We will assemble ourselves together regularly for worship services and will seek and pray for the spirituality, harmony, unity, and prosperity of this church. We will sustain its worship, ordinances, and doctrines, and will give the church priority over all human organizations.
We will cheerfully contribute of our means, as God has prospered us, for the support of faithful and evangelical ministry among us, for the relief of the poor, and for spreading the Gospel over the earth.
We will maintain private and family devotions, biblically educate the children committed to our care, and will endeavor to follow the disciplines and teachings of the Bible. We will seek to win souls to the Savior and hold fast our profession till He shall come and receive us unto Himself.
