Question 1

Why Church Membership?

Answer

Part of the faith journey is connecting with a group of believers who will encourage and challenge you in your transformational growth. The Bible calls this group of people the church. It is the people, not the building, that make us a church.

At BBC, we ask our members to make a commitment to being a part of the mission of the church and join us in doing our best to minister to our members.

Question 2

Learning about BBC

Answer

Step 1: Discover BBC

Be introduced to our pastors, meet other key leaders, and get to know the heart beat of our church. It takes place right after the service on select Sundays. This step is recommended for new attenders, but not required if you have been attending for more than a year.

Step 2: Participate in a Foundations Course

The Foundations Course focuses on our culture, how we build a community of trust, and our church’s core values which are 7 essential areas of Christian maturity and growth. Foundations is open to anyone at BBC who is interested in membership or in learning more about our church and core values.

Before becoming a member, we desire to meet with you personally to get to know you and to hear about your faith journey and relationship with Jesus Christ. We will work with you to schedule a time to meet with an elder and a deacon for this conversation.

Question 4

Entering into Membership

Answer

Step 5: Baptism (If never baptized)

If you have not previously been baptized, you will participate in one of our baptism classes, where we explain the meaning and significance of baptism, and then proceed with baptism as an outward expression of the inward change that comes from following Jesus. (This step may take place at any point in the membership process.)

Step 6: Be Introduced to the Church

Be introduced to the congregation and receive their affirmation and welcome as you enter into a membership relationship with the church, recognizing the shared joy and commitment of the church family. We will schedule a Sunday with you to introduce you to the church.
