We accept members in the following ways:

By Letter:

If you are currently a member of another church, we will receive you as a member upon promise of a letter from that church. FFC will contact that church to notify them of your decision.

By Statement:

If you know in your heart that you have trusted Christ as your Savior and Lord but for whatever reason your letter is not available, we will be happy to receive you by statement.

By Profession of Faith:

If you have never trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will be given an opportunity to do so. After your decision has been confirmed, an appointment will be made for your baptism at FFC.

The Invitation

During the closing song of each service, the pastor will stand at the front of the church facing the congregation. This is known as the "invitation." Simply walk forward and express to our pastor your desire for membership. If you do not feel comfortable walking forward during the invitation time, simply stop by the welcome desk in the foyer or see our pastor after the service.

Baptism

We baptize by immersion on Sunday morning at 8:00, 9:30 and 11:15 a.m. Baptisms can also be scheduled for various other times and dates. Walk forward during the invitation time or contact the church office at (813) 655-7431 to schedule an appointment for baptism.

Fishhawk 101

"FishHawk 101" is our class for prospective members or anyone who just wants to know more about our church's history, beliefes and purpose. This informative, yet informal, 2-hour class is held every 6-8 weeks and, led by our Senior Pastor, is appropriate for everyone from school-age children to adults. Watch for upcoming dates in the worship guide on Sunday mornings and on our church calendar on this website. Please note: All new members must attend "FishHawk 101". It is mandatory for membership to FishHawk Fellowship Church.
