Becoming a member of Bay Leaf Baptist Church is more than a formality—it’s a commitment to gospel-centered community and spiritual growth. This page explains the step-by-step process for joining our church, from attending the Membership Class to meeting with a pastor and affirming your faith in Christ. Whether you’re new to Bay Leaf or ready to take the next step, we’re here to walk with you.
How to Begin
Register for the Membership Class
Your membership journey starts with the Bay Leaf Membership Class, a two-hour session held quarterly on Sunday evenings from 4–6 PM on campus. You’ll learn who we are, what we believe, and what it means to be part of our church family.
God has chosen the local church to carry out His mission. Becoming a member is more than a name on a list—it’s a public commitment to pursue Christ together in community. We’re here to help you navigate this process with clarity and care.
