This may seem to go without saying, but it is vitally important that we worship God together in community with one another. You should plan to attend several Sunday services before you pursue membership.

Step 2:  Participate in Membership Orientation

Membership Orientations are scheduled as the need arises. These small group meetings provide the opportunity for relationship building and for asking questions about membership, church, and Christianity. One or more of the elders (or pastors) will schedule and lead the meeting, and you may inquire about the next orientation at any time.

Step 3:  Read the Confession of Faith & the Membership Covenant

Becoming a member of this church requires commitment to believe the Scriptures and live in light of Christ’s commands. The Confession of Faith summarizes what we teach and the Membership Covenant summarizes how we intend to live. You must read both of these documents, and you must affirm your happy subscription to them in order to be a church member.

Step 4:  Membership Interview

Attending a membership orientation, reading the church documents, and participating in some of the public gatherings of FBC Diana may provoke some questions in your mind. Additionally, the elders of FBC Diana will also want to ask you more questions before we all formally commit to one another. The membership interview will include you and at least one elder of FBC Diana. Spouses and families are encouraged to participate in the interview at the same time.

Step 5:  Formal Congregational Vote

At each members’ meeting of FBC Diana the elders will make recommendations about members coming in and members going out, but the ultimate decision to bring someone into membership resides in the collective members of the church.
