Acts 2:41 speaks of those who “were added to their number”. Definite affiliation gives a sense of belonging, loyalty and commitment. It helps the church to know who we can count on for service and leadership.
There are three ways to unite with our church.
· By profession of faith in Jesus Christ and desiring to be baptized.
· By letter of good standing from another church of like faith.
· By statement that you have received Christ as your Savior and have, as an act of obedience, followed Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
