What to Expect
What Bible translation do you use?
The New King James Version is the standard version used for all our scripture readings. We encourage you to choose a translation that is personal to you and bring it to service so you can compare what is being taught with the Word of God.
Becoming a Member
To become a member of Bible Way you just need to believe on the Lord Jesus and accept the invitation at the end of the service. A member of the leadership team will direct you to a room where they will talk and pray with you to affirm your decision. You will be welcomed and given a form to complete. You will then be scheduled for a New Membership Class and if you're a new Christian your next step is baptism.
What are New Member Classes?
The New Member orientation class consists of 6 sessions that gives new members a general overview of the church. In the class we discuss the vision of the church and Bible Way's core beliefs. After completing the course, members will receive a new members certificate of completion and the right hand of fellowship.
Baptism
Water baptism is a commandment given to the church by Christ, it symbolizes the death and burial of our sin and resurrection to a new life in Christ. A member of the leadership team will contact you to schedule a date and give you instructions on what to wear.

-
regularly attend and participate in worship services
