How to Become a member of the
Lancaster Baptist Church

Lancaster Baptist Church is a body of believers united by our desire to follow Jesus Christ and committed to fulfilling the purposes set forth in our Mission Statement. If you desire to join with us and will be supportive of the beliefs, fellowship, and mission of our church, we warmly invite you to become a member.

Express your desire for membership through one of the following means:

1. Come forward at the invitation portion of our services and let one of our Pastor's know that you desire to join the Lancaster Baptist Church. He will get some information from you, pray for you and we will present you in that service or in a subsequent service.

2. Attend our Discovery Class. We offer this class to provide information about the life and ministry of LBC. This class has an informal, relaxed atmosphere. During this time, we will share with you our statement of faith, our purpose and strategy statements, as well as how actively serve God through the ministry of LBC. At the conclusion of the class you will be given the opportunity to join LBC by completing the new member commitment sheet. If you do not wish to join, simply mark the box that says, "I do not wish to join at this time".

There are three different ways for people to become an official member of LBC-

Profession of faith
If you have never received Jesus as Savior and Lord and/or never publicly confessed Him, you will be given an opportunity to do so. After your decision has been confirmed, an appointment will be made for your baptism at LBC.

Transfer of membership from another Southern Baptist Church
If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, we will receive you as a member upon promise of a letter from that church. Lancaster Baptist will contact that church to notify them of your decision and request your letter.

Statement of faith
If you have previously made a public decision, acknowledging that you have received Christ as your Savior and Lord and you have been baptized by immersion, we will be happy to receive you.
