Our Mission

Mission Statement: “To know Christ and to make Him known”

 Why Membership Matters

 We, the people of First Baptist Splendora, are the body of Christ in this place.  Our desire is to live under the Lordship of Christ according to the truth in His Word.  We have been placed here to fulfill the following responsibilities:

  • Membership identifies you as a believer.

  • Membership provides you a spiritual family to support and encourage you.

  • Membership provides accountability to help you grow spiritually.

  • Membership gives you a place to discover and use your spiritual gifts.

If you feel God leading you to be part of our church family, we welcome you and look forward to worshipping and serving together, encouraging and helping you as God gives us opportunities.

How To Become A Member

 First Baptist is a body of believers united by our desire to follow Jesus Christ. If it is your desire to join with us, we warmly invite you to become a member. You can join our church in one of three ways:

1.  By profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ

If you will receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord and follow Him in baptism by immersion, we will welcome you into our fellowship.

 2.  By transfer of membership from another Baptist Church

As a Baptist whose membership is elsewhere, should God direct you to First Baptist Church, we will be glad to welcome you into the First Family. We will take care of the appropriate details for the transferring of your membership. You need only to present yourself for membership at the conclusion of any worship service.

 3.  By statement of faith

If you have placed your faith in Jesus for your salvation, you can join our church by your statement of faith in Him. In our Discovering Church Membership class, we will discuss what it means to be a Christian and what the Bible teaches about baptism.

  You can communicate your decision in one of two ways:

  1.  Respond to the invitation given at the conclusion of the service by walking to the front of the Worship Center when instructed to do so and inform the pastor of your decision.

  2. You can fill out a Decision card and place it into the offering plate.  Our pastor will contact you about your decision.
