Next Steps: Church Membership
Membership matters here at FBC Thomasville. More than calling this your church home, we believe membership means committing your life to this group of believers and joining us on the mission to help people follow Jesus for the joy of Thomasville and the nations.
Process for Church Membership

Attend the Next Steps Class: The Next Steps class occurs approximately once every three months. The class gives you a summary of what we believe, where we are going, and how you can become a member.

Congregational Affirmation: At our quarterly Members’ Meeting, the church receives and affirms new members. We do this because you are making a commitment to become a part of the Thomasville First Baptist family. You are making a commitment to the church and the church is making a commitment to you.
