How
to join The AGBC(S.E.)
The churches
already in the Association of Grace Baptist
Churches(South East) welcome new member churches.
The churches already in the Association accept new
members by voting for them at the Annual Meetings.
Any church within the AGBC(SE) geographical area
which accepts the Doctrinal Basis and the
Constitution may apply to join by
writing to the General Secretary.
After meeting the church officers, he will inform
the relevant District Secretary to allow the
candidate church to become involved with the nearby
associated churches.
At the Annual Meetings, the District is then able
to recommend the church for membership.
The association is a free one, in that churches may
leave if they so desire.
The gathered churches may expel from the
Association churches that no longer accept the
Doctrinal Basis, or who persistently cause offence
to the other churches.
Such events are rare, and are only carried out
after attempts to remedy the situation.
