To begin your walk with God, you must first believe and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Individuals may accept the invitation to join Sharon Baptist Church by three ways;
During the in person worship experience by walking to the front of the sanctuary when the Pastor "extends an invitation".
You may call the church at 732-846-0669 and choose option #5 and leave a message and a SBC team member will return your call.
Complete the "Becoming a Member Form" and a SBC team member will connect with you.
You will meet with a Deacon and Deaconess who will pray the Prayer of Salvation with you, collect your information and provide you with details on the next steps.
Once you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you may start the process to become a member of SBC. Candidates for membership must attend S.T.E.P.S.
