At Friendly Avenue, we believe church membership is about belonging to a family of believers who follow Jesus and care for one another.
To begin the membership process, you'll need a brief membership meeting with one of our pastors. You can start by:
Coming forward during the invitation in a worship service
Asking at the Guest Reception
Calling the church office
A pastor will follow up with you promptly.
A pastor (often with a deacon) will meet with you to discuss:
Your salvation story
Baptism by immersion
Previous church membership
Our core beliefs and church covenant
Any questions you may have
Once complete, you'll be presented to the church for a warm, in-person welcome!
You do not need to be re-baptized if you've:
Committed your life to Christ
Been baptized by immersion in a church with similar beliefs
Not sure? A pastor can help clarify.
Students (Watchcare Membership):
Live in Greensboro for school? You can join under watchcare and keep your membership at your home church.
Coming from Another Denomination?
If you’ve accepted Christ and been baptized by immersion, you can join by statement of faith.
Transferring from Another Baptist Church?
We’ll handle the membership transfer — no need to contact your previous church.
We’d love to talk with you about membership.
