How to Become a Member

Traditionally, to join a church, you'd walk the aisle during the time of invitation in a worship service. You can still do so at Southside Baptist Church, as we encourage this time of the service to be a meaningful time where you respond in the way God is leading you. But that's just one of three ways you can join.

If coming forward and being introduced in front of the church is too intimidating, simply contact us by using the contact form below to send a message to our staff and let us know you want to join. Or, you can call (334) 566-2263 to set up a meeting with one of our staff members to talk about membership.

You can also attend one of our New Member Luncheons where we offer information about Southside Baptist Church and how to join. 

You May Join Southside in One of three ways:

1. By Profession of Faith/Baptism:

For persons who have been saved by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and desire to obey Christ by being scripturally baptized by immersion.

2. By letter from another Baptist church:

For person who are saved, have been baptized by immersion after salvation, and are members in good standing of another Baptist church which will transfer them by letter to Southside Baptist (we will contact your current church and handle the transfer of letter).

3. By statement of faith:

For persons who are saved and have been baptized by immersion after salvation but are not members of another Baptist church.

If you are ready to join Southside Baptist Church, please use the contact form below to send a message to our staff or give us a call at (334) 566-2263.
