Hattiesburg, MS - It's Like Coming Home!

Membership

 

You are welcome to become a member of Calvary Baptist Church by any of the following means:

1. Profession of Faith
Membership by profession of faith and baptism occurs when a person first makes a public expression of his/her faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and seeks baptism.

2. Statement
Membership by statement is granted to a Christian who is not presently a member of another Southern Baptist church.  If one has not been baptized, or has not been baptised according to Baptist beliefs, he/she will be requested to experience baptism by immersion.

3. Letter
Membership by transfer of letter is granted when a person moves his/her current membership from another Southern Baptist church to Calvary.  The former church, at our request, forwards confirmation of that person's membership.


Any person seeking membership is required to set up a time with the pastor to discuss your decisions and the expectations of church membership.  Afterward, you are encouraged to openly share this decision with the church by coming forward during the invitation portion of the worship service.  Your name will then be presented at the following monthly business meeting for approval.  If you are unsure about this process or have questions, please feel free to contact the pastor for further councel.
