How do I become a member of
Utica Baptist Church?
Our Constitution and By-laws state:
This body shall be composed of members received in the following ways:
a. By Baptism, upon a public profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
b. By transfer of church membership from a church of like faith and order.
c. By statement, when records of former church membership are unobtainable, or when coming from a different denomination yet with the same immersion baptism concept and experience.
d. By restoration to membership of those who have held membership in a church of like faith and order, but for reasons of their own have more recently affiliated themselves with other churches.
At the point of the public decison, the pastor (or invitation counselor) will announce the manner of receiving the new member, and a vote will be taken at that time to receive the candidate. A majority vote of the members present is required to secure church membership. This will be followed by a time of personal greeting and welcome by the members at the close of the service. The pastor and/or deacons will be responsible for providing new member orientation.
Should be there any questions, please feel free to call the church office at 601-885-8806
