A word used often in the Christian faith is the word relationships. First, and most importantly with God, and second our relationship with each other. The local church is a group of believers who have come together to worship God and carry out the great commission. Just like all relationships, this works best when we clarify our relational intent. With God, we do that by profession our faith and following through with baptism. With the local church, we do that by becoming a member.
Becoming a member of a church is a way that we identify with other people who have committed themselves living as a follower of Jesus. It is a way of saying, “This is who I am and this is what matters to me.” It is a commitment to a lifetime of learning and growing in our relationships with God and with one another. Being a part of the church is a way that we witness to our faith in God and open ourselves to relationships that only the Christian community can offer.
This is the reason that every Sunday, we invite persons who are not members of Rich Fork Baptist Church to make this community their church home. If you are someone who is considering the possibility of becoming a member of Rich Fork Baptist Church, we hope that the following information will help you get a better sense of what is involved with joining our church.
HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER
MAKE A PROFESSION OF FAITH & FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BAPTISM
This is the core goal of the church, bring others into a loving relationship with God. While Baptism is not a requirement for salvation, it is the first act of obedience and profession we are commanded to take once we become a believer. If you are interested in following Jesus with your life or in being baptized you can contact one of our staff members with the information below.
