To Our Guests . . .

We’re glad you’re here.  You may have questions; we have some answers!

What is required for membership at Edmond’s First Baptist Church?  Our membership requirements are simple:

1. Participation in our Newcomer's Breakfast.
2. A Clear Testimony of Salvation
3. Believer’s Baptism by Immersion
4. Agreement with our Church Covenant and Statement of Faith

How do I join or make some other commitment to Christ?

You may go to the front of the Worship Center at the conclusion of the service and share your decision with one of our pastors    You may also choose to go to the Connecting Place after the service has concluded and talk to a minister or trained worker about your desire for membership or your need for prayer.  

A. Baptism

A candidate for baptism, after completing our membership class, and indicating agreement with the Membership Covenant and Personal Confession of Faith, will be baptized and become a member of our church.

Those who have not been scripturally baptized by immersion will attend our membership class, indicate agreement with the Membership Covenant and Professional Confession of Faith, be baptized by immersion and become a member of our church.

B. Transferring Your Membership

A person transferring from another Baptist church may be received by letter and upon completion of the membership class and signing a statement indicating agreement with the Membership Covenant and Personal Confession of Faith shall become a member of our church.

What about my children?

When a child is ready to make a commitment to Christ they may come forward during the invitation.  Trained counselors will deal sensitively with the child.  Information about the child’s next step will be shared with the parents. Upon completion of an age-graded membership class, believer’s baptism, and upon signing a statement indicating agreement with the Membership Covenant and Personal Confession of Faith, the child will become a member of the church.

I still have some questions.

God loves you and we really care about you.  If we can help, please call 405-341-0253, Monday - Thursday from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM and Fridays from 8:00 AM to noon

Thanks again for being our guest.
