MEMBERSHIP

Committing to a local church matters! When you become a member, we know you want to be a part of the Delaney family, allowing us to provide care and communication to you in the best ways possible. We also believe it shouldn’t be any harder to be a part of the Delaney family than it is to be a part of God’s family. There are three requirements for membership: (1) Faith in Jesus Christ, (2) Baptism by Immersion, and (3) Completion of New Members Class.

 

Discover Delaney

All members should attend our NEW MEMBERS CLASS, which is a course on everything you ever wanted to know about Delaney! You will learn about the vision, mission, core values, history, and beliefs of Delaney Street Baptist Church, and what it means to become a member. This class is the first step new members should take. At the same time, it will allow us to get to know you and help you get connected to the people and ministries at Delaney. After completion of the class, you’ll have the opportunity to join the church through membership and announcement.

This class is for all new members anyone considering membership. If you know of anyone that has recently joined our church family, please contact them and encourage them to attend.

Contact us if you have any questions or need more information.

Our members ARE the church!

One of the best things about Delaney Baptist Church is the people who ARE the church. Delaney Baptist Church is not just a building, it’s people, people who love the Lord Jesus Christ and endeavor to honor Him, and obey Him, and spread His gospel. We welcome and invite you to become a member of Delaney! Members are part of serving teams, are involved in Sunday School Groups, and Small group classes, and give generously to support the mission of Delaney Street Baptist Church.

 

Delaney Church Membership Covenant

Having received Christ as my Lord and Savior and been baptized, and being in agreement with Delaney Street’s statements, strategy, and structure, I now feel led by the Holy Spirit to unite with the Delaney Street church family. In doing so, I commit myself to God and to the other members to do the following:

I will protect the unity of my church
by acting in love toward other members (1 Peter 1:22),
by refusing to gossip, and resolving conflicts using Matthew 18:15-17,
and by following the leaders (Hebrews 13:17).

I will share the responsibility of my church,
by praying for its growth (1 Thessalonians 1:2),
by inviting the unchurched to attend (Luke 14:23),
and by warmly welcoming those who visit (Romans 15:7, Hebrews 13:2).

I will serve the ministry of my church,
by discovering my gifts and talents (1 Peter 4:10),
by being equipped to serve with my pastors (Ephesians 4:11-12),
and by developing a servant’s heart (Philippians 2:3-5).

I will support the testimony of my church,
by attending faithfully (Hebrews 10:25),
by living a godly life (Philippians 1:27),
and by giving regularly (Proverbs 3:9-10).
