How to Become a Member
General Information about Becoming a Member
We offer a six week membership class three times per year. Classes are held on Sunday mornings during the Sunday School hour. During the six sessions of the class, you'll learn about life in NPBC—what we believe, what we are committed to do, how our church is governed, and what you can expect as a member.
For membership in this Church, a person must be a believer in Jesus Christ, be (or previously have been) baptized by immersion in obedience to Christ after such person’s conversion, give evidence of regeneration, and wholeheartedly believe in the Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Bible. Each such person must also affirm the tenets of the Statement of Faith, promise to keep the commitments expressed in the Church Covenant, and agree to abide by the Constitution and By-Laws of the Church.
