Joining the Kingsland Family

We are so excited that you are interested in joining the community of believers called Kingsland Baptist Church. Joining a local church is such an important step in following Christ. God made us to live in community with one another, doing life together! At Kingsland, we look forward to welcoming you into the family where God uses each of us to accomplish His Mission for this body of Chirst-followers. Every person who joins Kingsland must meet three important criteria.

1. A follower of Jesus Christ
We believe that the church is not a building but a body of committed followers of Jesus Christ doing life together. The first and most important step in any person's life is receiving Jesus Christ as personal Lord, Savior, and Shepherd. For more information on how to make this decision, please click here or contact us.

2. Baptized by Immersion as a Believer
Baptism does not contribute to a person's salvation but it is very important because Jesus commanded us to do it. Jesus himself was baptized, giving us an example, and then commanded that we follow after we become believers. Baptism is highly symbolic of a new believer leaving his or her former life in sin and embracing new life found in Jesus Christ. All baptism in Scripture occurs after a person begins following Jesus Christ. Scripture also clearly indicates immersion (or being placed fully under water) as the only type of baptism practiced by the early church. For more information, please click here or contact us. The Next Step class for Membership will also cover this topic extensively and questions are always welcome.

3. Attending a Next Step Class.
At Kingsland, we recognize that those seeking to join walked various life paths leading them to this point. Because many new members come from different faith backgrounds or little to no faith background, we have created the class, Next Step, for Membership at Kingsland. At Next Step, we will spend about 2 hours covering who Kingsland is, our Mission as a family of Christ-followers and the basics of what we believe. Pastor Alex leads most classes and we know you will enjoy learning about Kingsland as we learn about you. If you have any questions about Next Step or would like to sign up for our next class, please click here or contact us.

If you would like to join, please feel free to come forward during our invitation at any of our three services or sign-up directly for the Next Step Class.
