Frequent Questions About PBC

Q: What does your church believe?

A: Elsewhere on this site you can read our statement of faith, but basically we take the Bible, God's Word, as our rule for all of faith and practice. We try to study it and understand it and apply all its principles in daily living.

Q: What denomination are you affiliated with?

A: Potomac Baptist Church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. Each church is autonomous under Baptist church policy, and PBC operates under a modified congregational governance model.

Q: What do I need to do to join the church?

A: First, you will need to give testimony that you have believed in Jesus Christ for salvation, and are seeking to follow Him daily. Other steps include following scripture's command to be baptized, and attendance in one of our membership classes. Following an interview with the pastor or an elder, your candidacy will be voted on by the church at one of its regular business meetings and the following Sunday you will be welcomed into the church family.
