Why This Role Matters: Baptism and membership are powerful declarations of faith and commitment. The Membership & Baptism Coordinator helps make these moments possible by guiding individuals through the process with clarity and care. This role ensures that no one falls through the cracks and that every person who desires to take these steps is equipped and encouraged. By helping people move from attending to belonging, this ministry strengthens the church body and supports the mission of making fully devoted followers of Jesus.
