Membership at TRBC: As Easy as A-B-C

There are three simple steps to becoming a member of Thomasville Road Baptist Church:

Why a Discovering Membership Class?
This class is the basic introduction to our church.  Since we have people coming from different backgrounds into our church, the class is designed to explain who and what our church is.   What is the basis for this class?  Note Ephesians 2:19 LB, "Now you are no longer strangers to God and foreigners to heaven, but you are members of God's very own family, citizens of God's country, and you belong to God's household with every other Christian."  This verse teaches us three things about the church: 

           1.  The church is a family.       
           2.  God expects you to be a member of a church family.   
           3.  A Christian without a church family is a contradiction.

In this class, we will encourage you to make two commitments:  1) Commit yourself to Jesus Christ.   2) Commit yourself to the TRBC family.   Four things bring TRBC together as a family:

          1.  We have a common salvation.
          2.  We have a common statement of faith.
          3.  We share a common strategy.
          4.  We have a common structure as a church, which enables us to carry out our purpose.

Those who complete the Discovering Church Membership class are asked to commit themselves to uphold the TRBC Membership Covenant.  It reads as follows:
