Our Beliefs

The Baptist Faith and Message is the Southern Baptist Convention confession of faith.  It summarizes key Southern Baptist thought in the areas of the Scriptures (Bible) and their authority, the nature of God as expressed by the Trinity, the spiritual condition of man, God's plan of grace and salvation, the purpose of the local church, ordinances, evangelism, Christian education, interaction with society, religious liberty, and the family.  The First Baptist Milton family firmly affirms and agrees with the BF&M 2000.

Church Membership

How to Join First Baptist Milton

At the close of each Sunday service, we provide an opportunity for those who would like to join the church to come to the front and speak with our pastor.  He can also answer any questions you may have about our church or what it means to have a personal relationship with Christ.

Our church accepts people for membership in the following ways:

 

BY BAPTISM

Those individuals who are placing their trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, or who have previously trusted Jesus as Savior and Lord (but have not yet been biblically baptized by immersion) and wish to be baptized as a statement of their faith and as a symbol of their trust in Christ.

 

BY TRANSFER OF LETTER

Those individuals who are members of another Baptist church.

 

BY STATEMENT OF FAITH IN CHRIST

Those individuals who are members of a church of like faith and belief and have been previously biblically baptized by immersion.
