How do I join the Family of God and become a member of Church on the Way?

The Church on the Way is a family of believers in Jesus Christ. You can become a member of the Way in one of four ways:

1. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior and being baptized by immersion.

2. If you have already accepted Jesus, but have not been baptized by immersion, then by following Him in believer's baptism.

3. Transfer of membership by letter from previous church.

4. Statement of having previously accepted Christ and experienced baptism by immersion as a member of another church.

Baptismal Services are every 2nd Sunday after the invitational period.
All adult and youth candidates must complete Baptism/Communion of the New Members Orientation Classes prior to being baptized.
Baptismal candidates under the age of 12 must fully complete their New Members classes.
All baptismal candidates are asked to report to the New Members & Visitors Administrator.

There are numerous benefits to church membership, but here are just a few:

It identifies you as a genuine believer (Ephesians 2:19, Romans 12:5).
It provides a spiritual family to support and encourage you in your walk with Christ (Galatians 6:1-2, Hebrews 10:24-25).
It gives you a place to discover and use your gifts in ministry (1 Corinthians 12:4-27).
It places you under the spiritual protection of Godly leaders (Hebrews 13:17, Acts 20:28-29).
