Joining FBC

At the end of our services there is a "time of invitation" when you can make your decision known publicly. If you have any questions about your decision, please contact us. Our church offices are open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and we would be happy to talk with you about it. (870-932-3456)

Ways to join FBC Jonesboro:

By Committing your life to Jesus Christ
This means that you have already received or that you want to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Joining Our Church by Baptism
You can join by being baptized if you're making your profession of faith as a new Christian or if you're coming from a church of another denomination whose view of Baptism is different from the New Testament Baptism (full body immersion) as traditionally practiced by Southern Baptists.

Transferring membership from another Baptist Church
If you're currently a member of another Southern Baptist Church, you can transfer your membership to FBC Jonesboro by visiting with a minister on Sunday morning during our 'time of invitation' at the end of our worship service.

Join our church from another denomination
If you have previously accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and have been baptized by immersion as an act of obedience into a church whose view of baptism is that of Southern Baptist.

What about my child's decision to profess faith in Christ?
When children are ready to make a "Decision" they may come forward during the invitation at the end of a service where they will be greeted by a minister. Then, parents are instructed concerning the next step based upon the child's age, experience and need. Please talk with our Children's Minister, Kristie Stokes if you have questions. There is a New Christian's Class that will provide age-appropriate answers for your child. The class can be taken before or after a "profession of faith" has been made.
