MEMBERSHIP
If you are interested in joining the church, we are glad to help! At the conclusion of every Worship Service is a time of invitation, where you may come forward and join Northern Hills Baptist Church. Or you may schedule a time to visit with our pastor. In any case, we are always available and ready to answer your questions, helping to guide you through this process.
Do you ever wonder why people say it is important to join a church?
We are grateful for your interest in possibly becoming a member at Northern Hills Baptist Church. People occasionally ask, “Why should I actually join a church? Is there anything about joining a church in the Bible? Maybe I could just come and sit as a spectator.” There are answers to those questions! The Bible says that when we become a Christian, we are to be joined together in the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:13, 27). We should become a part of a local body of believers (church).
We believe it is God’s plan for every Christian to be more than a spectator in a church. God wants us to be a member and a vital part of a local body of believers so that we can receive the encouragement and nourishment that comes from being with other Christians. As a member of Northern Hills Baptist Church, we make a commitment to our church; to give, to be faithful in our attendance, and to use our spiritual gift to serve others. However, the road does not end there. The church is committed to you;
to watch over you, to nourish you, to encourage you, and to hold you accountable.
We hope that you will seriously consider becoming a part of Northern Hills Baptist Church. However, if you decide not to join here, remember God wishes for you to be part of a Bible-believing spiritual congregation.
