  • We hold to the belief in a regenerate church membership, meaning only those who are truly born again should be members.

2. The Ordinance of Baptism by Immersion

  • Membership requires believer’s baptism by immersion as a public declaration of faith and obedience to Christ, not a means of salvation.

3. The Ordinance of The Lord’s Supper (Communion)

  • Members participate in the Lord’s Supper, which we observe regularly as a body of believers.
  • Communion is a remembrance and declaration of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection until He returns.

  • We affirm the following statements:
    • Baptist Faith & Message (2000)

8. Biblical Church Leadership and Discipline

  • HubCity Baptist follows the biblical structure of church leadership:
    • Pastors/Elders lead through oversight, teaching, shepherding, and equipping.
    • Deacons serve and assist in meeting the needs of the body.
    • The congregation affirms leadership decisions and engages in ministry.
  • If an elder or member is living in unrepentant sin, the church may engage in biblical church discipline (Matthew 18:15-17), always seeking repentance and restoration.

9. Fellowship and Accountability

  • Membership at HubCity Baptist means being part of a family, committed to praying for, encouraging, and holding one another accountable.
