You Are Welcome Here
It takes courage to explore a new church and it isn’t easy to walk into a brand new place. Worship at Weatherly begins each week with a Welcome from one of our Deacons who typically reminds us all that “at Weatherly, we are boldly inclusive, faithfully thinking, and progressively Baptist.” We don’t want there to be any mistake about that. You do not have to be like anyone else to be here, just be yourself! Weatherly is a place where you can bring your whole self to church. We desire to have a diverse community whose faith is centered in Jesus Christ and where our heads, hearts, and hands are all engaged.

How can I get involved at Weatherly and beyond?
Inside the weekly worship guide you will find a tear out where you can see various ministries to get involved with. When you fill this out, we’ll get you in touch with the right people or you can meet with one of the ministers on staff and we will help you discern where your gifts meet our community’s needs. Check out our Serve page for more information.
What if I am interested in church membership?
Anyone interested in membership may share their desire with a member of the ministerial staff. At which point, we will invite you to a conversation to get to know one another and the church better. A person becomes a member in one of the following ways:
By profession of faith & baptism, that is by professing faith in Christ and requesting baptism (getting dunked); Or by letter of transfer (a Baptist thing), that is by requesting a letter from your previous Baptist church confirming membership; or by your statement of faith, which means sharing a personal verbal statement of your prior Christian experience and baptism.
