But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both
now and to the day of eternity. 2 Peter 3:18
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I become a Christian? Repent - Turn away from your sins to follow God’s new direction for your life.. (Romans 3:23; Acts 3:19) Believe - Trust in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, for eternal life. (John 3:16) Confess - Acknowledge Jesus as the supreme authority over your life. (Romans 10:9,13) Receive - Accept God’s free gift of salvation. (Romans 6:23; John 1:12)
How may I join the Church? Profession of Faith & Baptism - When you personally commit your life to Jesus Christ and would like to be baptized by immersion as a public symbol of your faith. Baptism - When you have already personally committed your life to Jesus Christ, but have not yet been baptized by immersion as a public symbol of your faith. Transfer of Letter - When you are a member of another Southern Baptist church or a church with like faith and order. Statement - When you are a member of a church of like faith and practice, and have been baptized by immersion as a public symbol of your faith. May I join a LifeGroup without joining the Church? Of course! Though this is not church membership, it is an excellent way to get to know EBC and to learn more about the Bible and God’s plan for you. When can I join the Church? At the close of the worship service, walk up to one of the ministers and tell them of your decision. A trained counselor will meet with you to help you understand your decision, answer any of your ques-tions, pray with you, and secure the information necessary for our records. Usually, this takes just a few minutes.
I still have more questions! You are dealing with the most important decision of your life-what you will do with Jesus! You are more than welcome to call any of our ministers at 859-727-2588, or fill out the Worship Registration form and place it in the offering plate. One of our ministers will contact you.
