Membership and Baptism
Membership
Scottsdale Bible Church encourages, but does not require, membership. Scottsdale Bible Church does not receive transfer of membership from other churches. If you are interested in becoming a member at Scottsdale Bible Church we offer several classes each year. Please click here to register for the next class.
Each person applying for membership is required to accept the church’s Statement of Faith and agree to be governed by the published rules of the church. Persons at any age who have made a confession of faith in Christ are eligible to be considered for membership by the Elder Board. Only members who are at least 18 years old may vote at the time of a church-wide vote.
Discipline, termination and restoration may be carried out if necessary by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the Elder Board. Church discipline shall be carried out according to Biblical directives (i.e., Matthew 18:15-20; I Corinthians 5:1-13; Galatians 6:1-2; II Thessalonians 3:14-15; James 5:19-20) and according to the discipline policy for Scottsdale Bible Church.
Please call 480.824.7200 for additional information.
Baptism
We practice full immersion, administered to those individuals who have made a personal profession of faith in Jesus Christ. Every member is encouraged to observe this ordinance. Candidates for baptism must attend a baptism class. The next Public baptism is Sunday, April 29, 2012 . Please attend one of our Baptism Classes either Sunday, April 1 or April 15, at 11:15 a.m. Pastor Rustin Russello leads a Children’s Class for K-4th grade and all other ages meet with Bob Merwin.
