About Us
Waller Baptist Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist
denomination. Baptists are a people who profess a living faith. That
faith is rooted in God's only Son, Jesus Christ who is "the same
yesterday, today, and forever." The sole authority for faith and
practice is the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament.
We at Waller Baptist Church
believe:
- the Bible is the
inerrant, infallible, and inspired Word of God and has been
divinely protected through the ages,
- in the Trinity - God
the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit,
- in the deity of
Jesus Christ and His virgin birth,
- in the forgiveness
of sin through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ,
- that salvation is by
grace through faith,
- that Jesus Christ
will return.
How to Become a Waller member:
Waller Baptist Church is a body of believers united by our desire to
follow Jesus Christ and committed to fulfilling the purposes set
forth in our Mission Statement. If you desire to join with us and
will be supportive of the beliefs, fellowship, and mission of our
church, we warmly invite you to become a member. Here are the three
steps to becoming a member:
- Present yourself
for membership during any Worship Service
When the invitation is given at the end of the message, our
Pastor will invite those who desire to become members of Waller
to come to the front of the Worship Center. A minister will
greet you and introduce you to a friend, who will accompany you
to a quieter place where you will be guided in your decision.
- Express your
desire for membership through one of the following means:
a. Profession of faith
If you have never received Jesus as Savior and Lord and/or never
publicly confessed Him, you will be given an opportunity to do
so. After your decision has been confirmed, an appointment will
be made for your baptism at Waller.
b. Transfer of membership from another Southern Baptist
Church
If you are currently a member of another Southern Baptist
Church, we will receive you as a member upon promise of a letter
from that church. Waller will contact that church to notify them
of your decision and request your letter.
c. Statement of faith
If you know in your heart that you have previously experienced
salvation by receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord, we will be
happy to receive you. It will be necessary for you to be
baptized at Waller if you have never been baptized by immersion
after your salvation experience or if you were baptized in a
church which holds a different view of salvation, baptism, or
eternal security than the Baptist denomination.
- Attend the "Way
to Membership" Class for new members
This special orientation class for all new
members will give you essential information to help you
become a fulfilled, functioning member of our church. Charting
out a plan of “Way To” classes for your first year at Waller,
this class will show you how to begin building relationships in
our church and will help you understand all the benefits and
responsibilities of membership.
After you’ve completed these steps, we
will joyfully receive you as a member of Waller Baptist
Church and you will begin to fully enjoy the benefits and
blessings of being a part of our family
of friends.
We invite you to prayerfully consider becoming a member of our
church family.
