At WBC, we love seeing people grow in their faith and become more deeply connected to our church family. After you’ve been part of our community for a while, you might feel ready to take the next step—whether that’s for a greater sense of belonging, a stronger voice in our shared life, or even serving on the Leadership Team. Membership is the way we formally recognise and welcome your commitment to WBC. Every believer in Jesus is already part of His universal church, but local membership shows your desire to journey with us specifically. It helps us maintain spiritual unity, protect our community (especially children and vulnerable people), and meet legal requirements for churches in Australia.
What are our Membership requirements?
We welcome anyone who:
- Is a born-again believer, trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation
- Has been baptised (as an adult believer or, in traditions that practise infant baptism, with some form of adult confirmation)
- Is committed to this local expression of the church—Whitsunday Baptist Church
- Agrees with the statement of faith in our constitution
- Is seeking to live a holy and godly life
