Membership at Rice

At Rice, membership isn’t just about having your name on a roll — it’s about belonging to a family. We believe God calls us to gather in worship, grow in faith, and go share His love with others. When you become a member, you’re saying, “This is my church home, and these are my people.”

Why Membership?

Membership is about committing to walk alongside others in faith. It means being known, supported, and encouraged as we live out God’s mission together.


How to Join

There are a few simple ways you can become a member at Rice:

By Baptism

if you’re a new believer or haven’t been baptized by immersion.

By Statement

if you’ve already trusted Christ and been baptized, but records from a previous church aren’t available.

By Letter

if you’re transferring your membership from another Southern Baptist Church.
