MEMBERSHIP PROCEDURES:

• Fill out the information. We will contact you after receiving your information and schedule a time to meet with our Pastor. During the meeting, the Pastor will answer any of your questions concerning Mt. Zion Baptist Church ministries.

  • The Pastor will also assist you in one of the following ways to become a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church:

BY PROFESSION OF FAITH AND BAPTISM

• If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation by repenting of your sins and show your desire to follow Him through Believer’s Baptism by immersion, and fully subscribe to our Statement of Faith outlined in our by-laws, we will welcome you into our fellowship following completion of our Membership Class.

BY STATEMENT OF FAITH

• In the event, your previous church membership records are not available for a transfer of membership, or if you are a Christian who has followed the Lord in believer’s baptism and not a member anywhere, or you are a member of another denomination who has been biblically saved and baptized and willfully subscribes to our faith and practice, we will gladly welcome you based upon your statement of faith into our membership following your completion of the Membership Class.

BY LETTER OF TRANSFER FROM A CHURCH OF LIKE-FAITH AND PRACTICE

• By letter of transfer from another Bible-believing church of like faith and practice, or other written statement of good standing from the prior church if the applicant has been baptized by immersion subsequent to a profession of faith. If you have trusted Christ as your Savior by repenting of your sins and have shown your desire to follow Him in obedience to His Word through believer’s baptism by immersion, and you are a believer of “Like-Faith and Practice,” we will gladly welcome you into our membership following your completion of the Membership Class.

BY RESTORATION

• If having been removed from membership, upon a majority vote of the congregation and satisfactory evidence of repentance to the pastor (or the elected deacons if the office of pastor is vacant), we will gladly welcome you into our church family following your completion of the Membership Class.
