How to Join
If you would like to join the church or discuss any other decision you may talk to one of our pastors by calling the church at 704-436-6603 or by completing the Online Membership Application.

A person may be accepted for membership at Mission in one of the following ways:

  • By professing your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior followed by baptism.

  • By transfer of letter from another Baptist Church.

  • By statement of faith stating that you have previously professed Jesus as Lord and Savior and have been baptized by immersion.

  • By baptism for those who have previously accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior but has not been baptized.

Expectation of Members
 At Mission, we believe that we exist to make disciples.  We further believe that church membership should be synonymous with being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  To that end, we ask the following four commitments of new members:

  1. You are asked to be involved in Bible Study on Sunday mornings.  It is hard to be on a team without ever being in a huddle.  Sunday School is our huddle.  It is a place where we learn the Bible, fellowship, care for one another, and reach out to the community.  This does not take place of worship.  Your involvement in worship is assumed.

  2. You are asked to agree to give.  We do not tell you the amount or even the percentage to give.  But we do ask you to give regularly, proportionately, and sacrificially.  Regularly means weekly, monthly, or whatever is right for you.  Proportionately means that if God has blessed you a lot, give a lot.  If God has blessed you a little, give a little.  If God has not blessed you any financially, then don't give financially.

  3. You are asked to find a place in ministry.  We believe that we are saved to serve.  We believe that all members/disciples have a calling to a specific ministry.  We will help you discover your gifts for ministry and a place to use those gifts.

  4. To have a least three names of people you know who are unchurched and that you are seeking to share your faith, you are praying for their salvation, and you are inviting them to church.
