Say YES to the Invitation.

 God is calling you—and here at Wheat Street Baptist Church, we want to walk with you as you respond.

Whatever your “YES” looks like, we are here to support, encourage, and celebrate you on your journey of faith.

  • Say YES to Relationship with Christ

Salvation – Start a New Life in Jesus

This is the most important YES you will ever say.
Saying YES to Jesus means opening your heart to His love, His forgiveness, and His purpose for your life.

“If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
— Romans 10:9 (NKJV)

If you’re ready to say YES to Christ, we’d love to celebrate with you and help you grow in faith.

  • Say YES to Reconnection

Rededication – Come Back Home

Maybe you’ve known the Lord, but life took you in another direction. Your YES today may simply be:
“Lord, I’m coming back.”

God is waiting with open arms.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive…”
— 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)

If you’re ready to say YES to a fresh start, we’re here to pray with you and walk alongside you.

  • Say YES to Church Membership

Find Your Place at Wheat Street

Your YES may be to connect with a church home—a place to grow, serve, worship, and belong.

Joining Wheat Street means becoming part of a historic, loving, Christ-centered community.

“…not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together…”
— Hebrews 10:25 (NKJV)

You can say YES to membership by:

  • Coming forward during the Invitation to Discipleship
  • Filling out our Next Steps form
  • Calling or emailing our church office
  • Speaking with a member of the New Members Ministry

Whatever your path, there is a place for you here.

What YES Are You Responding To Today?

Whether you’re saying:

  • YES to Christ
  • YES to Reconnection
  • YES to Membership

We’d be honored to walk with you, pray with you, and support your journey.

 

Your next step of faith begins now.
