The Doors Are Always Open

each service, Pastor Jefferson extends the invitation to become a

followers of Jesus Christ.

How Do I Join?
Step out into the aisle, take the Deacon's hand and he will escort
you up to the front. All you must do is verbally confess your faith.
There are three ways a person may join Metropolitan Baptist Church:
- By Believer’s Baptism by Immersion: an act of
obedience when a person receives Jesus Christ as Savior. It symbolizes
the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried and risen Savior.
- By Letter: transfer of letter from another church of like faith and order.
- By Statement of Faith: whenever a person is coming
to our church from a church that teaches salvation by grace alone and
also practices believer’s baptism.

On the first Sunday of every month, during our 11:30 AM service,
Pastor Jefferson extends the Right Hand of Fellowship to those who have
completed their New Disciples' classes and participated in the Holy
Ordinance of full water immersion baptism . This is a special time for
the Metropolitan Baptist Church family. Our new members receive a
certificate of completion and welcomed by the congregation.
Once you have become a member at Metropolitan Baptist Church, we want
you to begin to feel at home. The surest way to start that process is
through active participation in our Sunday Morning Family Bible School classes. Here you will find caring and supportive teachers, friends,
and in-depth Bible Study experiences. As you make yourself at home at
Metropolitan, God will show you where he wants you to serve in the
ministry of this church, His body of Christ.
