Next Steps to Membership

The Bible repeatedly gives the clear picture of the church as the body of Christ and him as its head. With this in mind, we take membership in the local church seriously. To join Ridgecrest, we ask you and your family to follow these next steps. 

1) Attend Ridgecrest for a minimum of 1 month. By attending for at least a month, you’ll get to meet other members, experience multiple services, and have a better understanding of what our church is like. 

2) Attend a Next Steps Breakfast. Offered monthly on the 1st Sunday of the month, this time is designed to serve as the centerpiece for helping those considering membership at Ridgecrest to learn about our beliefs and mission while also learning how to plug in to the life and ministries of RBC. You will meet some of the staff and have a chance to ask questions. RSVP FOR NEXT STEPS BREAKFAST

3) Setup a meeting with an elder or member of the pastoral staff. In this meeting we’ll want to hear your testimony, explain a little bit about the church, and go over our expectations for membership.  We will also answer any questions you may have.  SETUP A MEETING

4) Consider what has been discussed and take some time to prayerfully think through your commitment to serve Jesus here at Ridgecrest. When ready, submit your church membership agreement to the church office or a staff member. MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

5) Be presented to our congregation at the conclusion of a Sunday morning service so we all might have an opportunity to welcome you to our fellowship.
