This document contains templates for transferring church membership between Seventh-day Adventist churches. If you are joining another church, the pastor will contact your previous church and ask for a letter of transfer.1. Why is your church seeking affiliation with California Southern Baptist Convention and the San Diego Southern Baptist Association? To become a church member, our church constitution requires you to sign a Bond of Union and make a pledge of financial support, in any amount. Our office only registers licenses issued in San Diego County. Appointments are available up to 7 weeks in advance and fill up quickly.
