Church Membership

The membership of First Baptist Church Camden consists of individuals who have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and who have been biblically baptized by immersion. The membership reserves the exclusive right to determine who shall be members of this church and the conditions of each membership.

 

Any individual may request candidacy for membership at FBCC by coming forward during a public invitation at the end of any Sunday morning or Sunday evening worship service and speaking to the pastors or by speaking to the pastors privately in another setting. 

 

Candidates may join First Baptist Church Camden in one of the following ways:

1. Salvation – By professing your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and following Him in biblical baptism by immersion.

2. Transfer of Church Membership – By transferring your letter of membership from another Southern Baptist Church.

3. Statement of Faith in Christ – By statement of your faith in Jesus Christ and that you have been biblically baptized by immersion after salvation.

4. Baptism – By statement of your faith in Jesus Christ from another denomination that does not practice biblical baptism by immersion after salvation. This is a statement of faith in Christ and a willingness to be biblically baptized by immersion.
