Expressions of Membership

At Mountain Brook Baptist, we are a God-centered, Bible-based, people-focused body of believers in Jesus Christ. As a member, we ask that you commit to living out our "Five Expressions of Membership." 

Attend

Attend one of our weekly Sunday morning services. We offer a Traditional Worship Service at 9 a.m. in our Sanctuary and a Contemporary Worship Service at 11 a.m. in our Sanctuary. Worship is vital to our lives as Christians, and gathering together on Sunday mornings is our primary way of expressing Christ’s Lordship and experiencing his grace and truth together as a community. 

Worship

Plug In

Plug in to the life of the church by joining one of our Sunday School classes and/or joining a Growth Group. We have many options of classes and groups, and we want you to find the right fit for nurturing of your relationship with God and your life in the church community. 

Another great way to plug in is on Wednesday nights during the school year where we enjoy dinner together and have missions activities for children.  

Small Groups

Serve

Serve by giving of your time in the church and community. As followers of Christ we are called to be on mission, so whether you are serving our community in some capacity at church or serving others abroad in our city, nationally, or internationally, we ask that you express your membership in service. We have a strong tradition and emphasis on missions here at MBBC and want you to be a part of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ through word and deed.

Give

Give to the mission and ministries of the church financially.

Giving

Invite

Invite others to worship with us! Just as you have been welcomed and encouraged in your own experience of God’s grace in worship and life at Mountain Brook Baptist, we encourage you to invite others to share in the life of God’s grace and Christian fellowship through worship, involvement, and service at MBBC. This is a great way to serve and be on mission as a follower of Jesus Christ.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I schedule a conversation with a minister?

Dr. Splawn loves to meet with prospective members to get to know them, hear their stories, and share about ways God is at work at MBBC. Reach out to him using the contact form below or by calling the church office (205-871-0331). 

When are new members received?

We have an invitation at the end of every service, and invite people who are ready to join the church to come forward to be introduced to the congregation.

Can you tell me more about baptism by immersion?

Baptism by immersion following your confession of faith is a hallmark of our Baptist heritage. If you have already been baptized by immersion as a believer, we happily affirm that! If you have not been so baptized, we ask that you prayerfully consider being baptized by immersion as a witness to your professed faith in Jesus as Lord. We are happy to walk through this process with you and, of course, will answer any questions throughout your steps to becoming a member.

What is Discover MBBC?

Discover MBBC is an opportunity to discover the heartbeat of Mountain Brook Baptist Church! Join us to learn more about our faith, culture, and church family. You’ll also be able to meet our ministers and staff members. These events are held twice a year, customarily in the fall and winter, at 10 a.m. on Sundays during Sunday School. Learn more here.
