Are you interested in becoming a member of First Baptist Killen? One of our pastors would count it a privilege to talk more with you about what it means to commit to Christ and his people as a member of this local church. Below you will find a description of why we believe church membership is important as well as our church covenant. Want to know more about church membership? Let us know! You can contact the church office and ask to speak with one of our pastors, or fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
Our belief that being a member of a local church is important includes these three reasons:
Because God expects every Christian to unite with a local body of believers
Because a Christian without a church family is like an orphan
Because God’s Word commands us to be actively committed to one another
