Plan of Salvation
It begins with knowing the truth of God’s Word.
The most important decision you will ever make is to trust Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour. The Bible clearly teaches that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23), and that the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).
God showed His love for us through Jesus Christ, who died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day (Romans 5:8, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
The Bible says:
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved."
— Romans 10:9 (KJV)
Salvation is not about religion, good works, or church membership — it is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
If you have questions or would like to talk with someone about being saved, we would be honored to speak with you. Reach out today — eternity is too important to wait.
Baptism
Public faith. Personal step.
Baptism is the first act of obedience after salvation, an outward expression of an inward change. At Muscle Shoals Baptist, we baptize by immersion, following the example of Jesus and the teaching of Scripture.

Church Membership
A place to belong. A family to grow with.
We believe the local church is God’s design for community, worship, and mission.
When you become a member here, you’re not just joining an organization — you’re becoming part of a spiritual family.
Our membership process is simple, relational, and centered around:
Who we are
What we believe
How you can get involved and grow
We would love to help you take this step when you're ready.
SERVING & GETTING INVOLVED
Faith in Action. Purpose in Community.
God has equipped every believer with gifts, abilities, and experiences that can be used to serve others and glorify Christ. Whether you feel called to hospitality, children’s ministry, music, outreach, teaching, prayer, or behind-the-scenes support — there is a place for you here.
You don’t have to have it all figured out — just be willing to take one small step.

At Muscle Shoals Baptist Church, we believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and our final authority for faith and life. We are a Christ-centered, Bible-teaching church grounded in historic Baptist doctrine.
We affirm the Baptist Faith and Message (2000) and hold to these core truths:
The Bible is the perfect and trustworthy Word of God.
God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone.
The Church is a local body of baptized believers who gather for worship, fellowship, discipleship, and mission.
Baptism is by immersion, following personal faith in Jesus Christ.
The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic act of remembrance and unity.
The Great Commission calls us to share the Gospel with all nations.
We strive to live out our faith with reverence, love, and boldness, rooted in truth and led by the Spirit.
