Watch Care means that you are away from your home church for a period of time but would like to fellowship with a church in the area you are staying for that time frame so you go forth under Watch Care. You do not have a voice, nor can you vote in church matters. You can hold any office within the church.

What does under watchcare mean in the baptist church?

Watch-care in the baptist church is used when a profession of faith is in question. When I was 9 years old and my sister chose to join our church I also went forward to profess my faith. Because of my age and the possibility that I did the profession because my sister did I was put under watch-care. In my church a children's teacher was asked to vouch for me at a later date. I understood my profession of faith and new in my heart that God was a loving father such a my father was and dedicated my life to Him. I was not offended by being put under watch-care.

Is transfer of membership necessary in a baptist church when establishing a new church?

Since local Baptist churches are autonymous (self-governing, self-regulating) it is hard to say that anything involving membership is absolutely required. It really depends on the local church.Commonly, when a person in involved is involved in a church-plant (establishing a new church), the person would maintain the membership in the parent church until the formal inauguration of the new church. At that time, membership is transferred from the original church to the new church.However, some Baptist churches accept that individuals can be members of more than one church (this writer is a missionary and is a member his home church in the US, and is also a member of his church on the mission field).Some Baptist churches accept that an individual is a member of one church, while being an "associate member" of another church. (this writer has also don this.) That means that the person is a member of two churches but one is primary.Some Baptist churches believe that an individual can only be a member of one church at a time, but have "watch care" assigned to another church. An example of this would be a college student who is a member of one church while being under watch care of another near the college.
