Becoming a Part of the Fellowship


If you will receive Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and Lord and follow Him in baptism by immersion, we will welcome you into our fellowship.

By Baptism

If you know that you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, but have never been scripturally Baptized, we invite you to continue following Christ through the ordinance of baptism. Baptism is the symbolic death and burial of the old life without Christ and the Resurrection of the new life with Christ as our Lord.


Scriptural Baptism
  • Proper Subject:          a saved person
  • Proper Authority:     the church
  • Proper Purpose:         to show salvation, not procure it
  • Proper Mode:              by immersion



  • By Statement

    In the event church records are not available for a transfer of fellowship from another church of like faith and order, and you give evidence of salvation and scriptural baptism, we will accept you upon your statement of these conditions.



    By Letter

    If you are a Baptist in good standing with another Church, we joyously invite you to become part of our local body and will gladly take care of the appropriate details for transferring your records. If you are a member of a Church of another denomination we will gladly counsel with you about how you can become a member of our body.



    If you would like to become a part of the Buena Southern Missionary Baptist Church family, we invite you to come forward during the Hymn of Invitation and someone will help you with your decision.
