- We are committed to preserving a church
membership comprised only of those who have repented and believed the Gospel
and are also living a life of ongoing repentance toward God and faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ. Toward this end, the membership process at RBC Nashville
starts with completing a petition for membership (which can be found here) and submitting it to the elders
for review. After this submission, an elder will contact the candidate to
schedule a membership interview in which the candidate’s faith, understanding
of the gospel and desire to pursue membership will be discussed.
- Following the membership interview, the
candidate’s written understanding of the Gospel, account of coming to faith in
Christ and reasons for currently believing they are a genuine Christ-follower
will be sent out to the congregation for review over a three-week period.
During this period, congregants are encouraged to ask the candidate questions
about anything in their responses that may require clarification.
- After this period, the candidate will be
accepted into membership at a worship gathering on the first Sunday of the
month, in conjunction with reciting the Church Covenant for the first time with
the rest of the congregation. If the candidate is seeking baptism, this will
generally take place on the same day in conjunction with their acceptance into membership.
