How can I join North Side Baptist Church? This question, or one very similar to it, is often asked and may be easily answered. The real prerequisite for membership in North Side is that you have a personal experience with Jesus Christ and are born again. Once this question has been satisfied, there are four methods of placing your membership in the church. These are what we refer to as By Letter","By Statement", "By Baptism" and "By Watchcare." Each of these methods involves attending our Connection Class.  The Connection Class is a one time, 2 hour learning experience for you and your family.  During this class, you will learn all about the important aspects of NSBC, as well as how you and your family can begin being a part of the active membership.  Following the class, you will be presented to our congregation at the close of one of our Sunday morning worship services.

Joining the church "By Letter" is designed to allow members of other Baptist churches to transfer their membership from their previous church to North Side.

Joining the church "By Statement" is designed to allow others to join North Side when they are coming from another denomination of like faith and practice.

Joining the church "By Baptism" is designed for those who have never been immersed following their conversion. We ask all those desiring membership to be baptized, if they have not done so up to this point in their Christian Experience.

Joining the church "By Watchcare" is designed for those who are not Baptist, but want to be part of the regular ministry of North Side, while maintaining their present denominational status. "By Watchcare" means that you are a member of North Side in every way, except when it comes to the formal conducting of business of the church.

If you have further questions about church membership, please don't hesitate to contact one of our ministers. They will be happy to help you understand in greater detail how you might be a part of the fellowship of North Side!
