Are you looking to join a church?
The membership process at BBC is intentionally slow and is designed to ensure that the church and the member applicant are on the same page with regard to understanding the gospel and church life. Here is how to pursue membership with BBC.
Attend our services
Begin by worshipping with us. Attendance gives a good feel for the general ethos of the church. Consider also joining one of our Family Bible Hour classes, which take place prior to the morning worship service, from 8:30 AM to 9:15 AM.
Read our membership booklet
Download and read a booklet produced by our elders, which explains who we are as a church. The booklet contains the full text of our church covenant and our confession of faith.
Attend a membership information class
Membership information classes are typically held the first Sunday morning of every month during Family Bible Hour / Sunday school (8:30 AM – 9:15 AM). This no-obligation class will give you all the information you need about church membership.
Work through the membership material
An elder will assign an existing member of the church to lead you through the required membership material, which takes the form of ten lessons focusing on the relationship between the church and its members.
Undergo a membership interview
Prospective members will be interviewed by one or two of the elders, where they will establish that you are happy with the ethos and doctrine of the church and that you understand the gospel. The elders will explain next steps at the interview.
