There are 4 ways to officially join Greater Shiloh:
BAPTISM – If you have never been baptized before. Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer’s faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Savior. It represents the believer’s death to sin, the burial of the old life in a watery grave, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus. Being a church ordinance, it is prerequisite to the privileges of church membership and to the Lord’s Supper.
LETTER – If you have moved from another location or if you are a member of another church that has written a letter on your behalf. You would be accompanied by an official corresponding document that signifies your peaceful standing and harmonious separation from your former home church.
WATCH CARE– If you are only planning to be in the area for a temporary period of time, and want to remain a member of your current church home, however you need a temporary home base to be spiritually fed and watched over by our Pastor and congregation. Whether you are in college, on temporary assignment, or otherwise in this area temporarily we welcome you to join with us under watch care.
CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE – If you are an experienced Christian, looking for a church home and you have made the decision that Greater Shiloh is the home you are looking for. This includes if you are coming from being a member of another church, but are not accompanied by a letter.
