To Our Visitors We re glad you re here! You may be new in the Shoals area and Woodmont Baptist or a regular, but don t feel alone. We frequently have many guests in our services, and we find many have questions about church membership. That s great, because we have some answers! When do I join? At the close of every service a hymn is sung and the pastor stands facing the congregation. Walk to the front at this time and the pastor will meet you. Attendance in the Membership Information Class (MIC) or Children s Information (CHIC) is required for membership. MIC is taught regularly by our Pastor. Attendance at the class may be before or after you walk to the front to unite with our church. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever. Psalm 136:1 When do you have baptism? Baptism is usually arranged a few weeks after coming forward in a service. May I be a Sunday class member and not a church member? Of course. Some are. This is not church membership, but is an excellent way to get to know some of the Woodmont Folks and more about our church. Are there different ways to join? Yes. (1) By professing faith in Jesus Christ and following Him in water baptism. (2) By transferring your letter from another Southern Baptist Church. (3) By your statement of faith in Christ, that is your conversion experience and baptism by immersion after salvation. If I have other questions, is there someone with whom I can talk? Certainly. Our pastor and staff would love to share with you more about our church and ministries. Often, of course, you can get a lot of information from a friend who is already a member.
