Membership

Membership at Immanuel Bible Church is more than a name on a roll. It is a covenantal commitment to belong to Christ's body and walk together under the care of its elders.

Why Membership Matters

A short introduction to what membership at Immanuel means, and what to expect as you begin the process.

Becoming a Member

01)

STEP 1

Register

Between services the Member's Center is staffed with volunteers who can answer questions pertaining to membership and baptism, provide you with a membership folder which contains our membership application, and can help you register for the membership class.

 

Or register for our next class online.

STEP 2

Complete Application

Before you attend the membership class, fill out all parts of the membership application. You will also have an opportunity to articulate your testimony.

STEP 3

Attend Discovering Immanuel Class

Our membership class is held monthly, and is designed to help you understand what distinguishes IBC from other churches; how we articulate church-membership and baptism from Scripture; and practical ways to serve and be involved at Immanuel.

STEP 4

Attend Pastoral Interview & Schedule Baptism

Following completion of the membership application and membership class, you will be assigned two elders to conduct your pastoral interview and we will work with you to schedule your baptism.

STEP 4

New Member Affirmation

Once you complete the membership process, you will be welcomed as a member to the next "New Member Affirmation". New members will make an affirmation of their commitment to the local body here at Immanuel Bible Church. This is also an opportunity for the congregation to both affirm and make a reciprocal commitment to new members. A reception will follow.
