What is commitments do we ask of church members?

Our membership covenant is in the our bylaws, but it can be summed up as five commitments:

• Grow – Follow Jesus as Lord and have a growing relationship with God.
• Connect – Be present and engaged in the life of the church. Participate in worship, including Lord’s Supper and Baptism. Join a Bible Study, Community Group, or other group where you are challenged and encouraged in your walk with Christ.
• Give – Contribute financially to the ministries of our church.
• Serve – Serve inside our walls by investing yourself in our ministries and beyond our walls by investing in our mission partners and other opportunities for Christian service.
• Advocate – Invite others to join our fellowship, align yourself with First Baptist, and share with others what God is doing in and through First Baptist.
