Membership

Mackay Baptist Church follows a governance model that is led by the leadership team including the Pastors, Elders and Deacons, on behalf of the members of the church. As per the Church Constitution all leadership positions including pastoral staff are held to account by the members of the church by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Becoming a member of the church is simply a process whereby a person makes a covenant to commit to a community of believers. In practical terms, this means contributing towards the direction and decision making of the church as well as committing to your brothers and sisters in Christ in love and service.

Any believer who has made a previous public declaration of faith by way of baptism is welcome to become a member. After expressing your interest in becoming a member, one of the Eldership team will make arrangements to visit you to review the church vision and constitution. Afterward acceptance, you will be welcomed as a member at the next convenient church service.
