What do the scriptures say about the purpose, function, structure, and nurture of the church?

Is membership in a specific local church based on tradition, culture, or Biblical teaching?

What does it mean to be a member of the body of Christ?

In particular, what does it mean to be a member of Remembrance Community Church?

These and other important questions regarding the Bible's teaching about the church and church membership are explored in the course, "Membership Matters ".  

This course is not solely for membership applicants.  It is intended to be helpful instruction for all believers who, though they have not made a membership decision, wish to understand clearly what the Bible teaches about church membership as they seek God's guidance in this important subject.

The class will be conducted in four 50-minute sessions that meet Sunday mornings at 9:10.  Resource materials will be provided.  If you have any questions or wish to participate in a Membership Matters course, please contact one of the church elders.
