What does it mean to be ‘One Heart, One Mind’?

We believe church “membership” is not a biblical concept, but can exist as a extra-biblical covenant you make with the church to minister your giftedness & strengths to the benefit of everyone else. By becoming a member, you are saying, “I am one heart and one mind with the doctrine and direction of Faith Bible Church.”

Why does FBC have this form of membership?

• It unifies our church body in purpose & direction.
• It provides boundaries to what’s taught in our church, as membership is required for teachers.

Anyone can be, assuming they…

• at least 16 years of age
