Our church welcomes people of all ages and backgrounds. Becoming a member of FBC Benton, however, is an important commitment and one that we want each individual to take seriously. Joining the local church is an expression that you are the body of Christ and are connected with fellow believers to the glory of God as we serve Him in fulfilling His plans and purposes for His church. We require every church member to have a personal relationship with Christ. We have a time of response at the end of each service for anyone who needs to make a decision for the Lord.
Who can become a member? Answer: Christians who have received believer’s baptism by immersion. Note: If you were Biblically baptized at another church you can join FBC Benton by transferring your letter of membership from that church to ours.
You can join the church in three different ways:
- By accepting Christ and following in Believer's baptism by immersion.
- By transfer of letter from another Baptist church. We will ask your previous church to send us a letter indicating that you are a member in good standing. Your membership with that church will then transfer to FBC Benton.
- By statement of your faith. Upon statement of your Christian faith & experience in a church that is no longer in existence or not Baptist, we will welcome you and baptize you if you have not previously followed in Believer's baptism by immersion.
