How to Become a Member

Some may ask how a person can become a member of Union Grove Baptist Church.  To become a member of UGBC carries you through a series of conversations with the leadership of the church.  The person desiring to join must be able to clearly explain his or her personal salvation testimony and have a testimony of baptism by immersion.  If either of those areas is a question mark, we ask that the individual speak with our pastor or one of our church leaders to help clarify the church’s view on these important topics.  If both of these areas are a part of your history, then we ask that you set up a time to meet with our pastor who will then listen to your testimony.

Based upon that conversation, the pastor would then recommend that you speak with our church leadership and share your story.  Once those individuals are satisfied that you truly have a clear understanding of the saving grace of God, and a testimony of baptism, then the Deacons would recommend you to the church body as a whole.  The person desiring to join would then need to share again the story of their salvation and baptism before the church family of UGBC.  The church members would then vote to accept the desire to join.  Once voted in as a member, a person shares in the privilege and responsibility as stated in our church’s constitution and statement of faith.
