How to Join!

First Baptist's doors are always open to new members and friends. We want to be your church in your home town!

You can join First Baptist in a number of ways:

• By professing your faith in Jesus Christ as your savior-saying that you want to follow Jesus with your life. We will then baptize you and you will be a member.
• By transferring your membership from another church, Baptist or other Christian denomination. All we need to know is that you have been baptized in a way that is sufficient and meaningful to you.
• By your personal statement of faith and baptism if there is some hardship in getting your membership transferred (sometimes churches cannot be contacted, close, or membership data gets lost or destroyed).
• By joining under "Watchcare," which means that you want to identify with First Baptist while you are in Columbia, but you don't want to change your membership from a "home church" (this is most helpful for students).
