Our Invitation
We invite you to become a vital part of the fellowship of Longwood Baptist Church. During the invitation, you are invited to come to the front where the pastor is waiting to welcome you. If you are impressed by God's Spirit to unite with us, you can do so in one of the following ways:
By Baptism
It may be that you now accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. We are excited for you! Let us share in your joy and talk with you about it. You may follow the Lord's command and join this church by publicly professing Christ and being baptized into our fellowship.
It may be that you have placed your faith in Christ some time in the past and have been a member of a church of another denomination. If God is now leading you to join this church, you may do so by reaffirming your faith in Christ and being baptized into our fellowship. People joining our church from another denomination will be received as candidates for baptism on the basis of their profession of faith. This does not minimize any baptism you have experienced. If your beliefs are the same as ours we welcome you to join our church as a candidate for baptism.
By Letter
It may be that you have already personally accepted Christ and are a member of another Baptist church. If you feel led to join this church, come during the time of invitation and join our fellowship by letter. We will simply write your former church, and they will send us your letter of membership.
By Statement
It may be that you have been a member of another Baptist church, but for some reason your letter of membership is not available from that church. We gladly invite you to join on your statement of having personally accepted Christ and having been baptized in another Baptist church.
If you are still uncertain about your situation or about God's will in your life, please let us talk with you. You may either come during the time of invitation or arrange for a special meeting with the pastor. We want to help you.
