How do I become a member? There are three ways that someone can become a member of Lake Ridge Baptist Church:
By Profession of Faith and Baptism A person accpets Christ as his/her personal Savior and is baptized by immersion.
By Transfer of Church Letter A person comes to our church from being a member of another Southern Baptist church. LRBC will take care of the administrative part of having the letter transferred from the previous church to our church fellowship.
By Statement A person comes to our church from previous membership in a non-Southern Baptist church or from a situation where there is no previous church membership. If the person has been previously baptized by immersion after trusting Jesus as his/her personal Savior and understands that baptism is an ordinance symbolizing identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, then the person does not need to be baptized again.
What other groups regularly meet at the church? Several organizations use our facilities. Those that use them on a regular basis include the Salt and Light Korean Church, A.A., Boy Scouts Troop 1420, Cub Scouts, the Cabin Branch Quilters, and the Thousand Oaks Townhome Association.
