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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
