Membership at SCBC

Membership is more than a name on a list or a place to belong. Membership provides the necessary framework for individuals to walk together in obedience to God's Word; living life together, caring for one another, submitting to each other, and providing mutual accountability.

THE PROCESS

Start the process by filling out the membership application here.

Step One: Membership Classes

There are three classes that help applicants understand the blessings, responsibilities, and purposes of local church membership. These classes occur at regular intervals.  Each class typically lasts 45 minutes.   You may contact the church office to inquire about the next series of classes.

Step Two: Membership Interview

The interview is a conversation with two of the elders and the applicant(s). The conversation will give the elders a chance to hear about God's work in your life, your understanding of the gospel, and a little bit of your life story.  It is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about SCBC.

Step Three: Membership Covenant

After an applicant completes the interview , classes, and submits signed membership agreement, the elders vote to affirm or deny the membership request. After a vote of acceptance the applicant will have the opportunity to stand in front of the church and affirm the membership covenant publicly.
