Membership Process

Church membership is a very important part of the Christian life. Please consider the following quote from the book "Church Membership" by Jonathan Leeman:

"What is church membership? It’s a declaration of citizenship in Christ’s kingdom. Church membership is a formal relationship between a church and a Christian characterized by the church’s affirmation and oversight of a Christians’ discipleship and the Christian’s submission to living out his or her discipleship in the care of the church. Church membership is all about a church taking specific responsibility for you, and you for a church."

We are grateful for your interest in joining us in covenant membership. We desire to be intentional and helpful as you seek to covenant with us in membership. Please read below about what the process of becoming a member looks like at Levittown Baptist. 

Step 1. Self Examination

Determine whether you meet the criteria of a member. You must be…

  • A believer in the gospel of Jesus Christ, ie: a born-again Christian.
  • Regular Attender of Levittown Baptist Church's Worship Services.
  • Baptized in a Biblical manner (by immersion after salvation) or in the process of pursuing baptism at LBC.

Step 2. Application
Fill out a membership application form and a testimony worksheet and email them to office@levittownbaptist.com.

  • The Membership Pursuit Form will give us your background information which will be helpful in getting to know more about your life, your testimony, and your beliefs.

Step 3. Elder Interview
Once the Membership Application Form and the Testimony Worksheet have been received, the elders will reach out to set up an interview meeting with you.

  • This meeting will be for the purpose of discussing your testimony, gifts, basic understanding of doctrine, and status of baptism.
  • This is also the time that you will be able to ask any questions regarding the doctrinal teachings or regular practices of LBC. 
  • If your testimony is not affirmed, the elder will seek to help you understand the gospel as we understand it and teach it at LBC. 

Step 4. Congregational Approval
Upon completion of the previous steps, the elders will bring your name before the congregation for affirmation of membership at the following business meeting.
