Memberships
Solid Rock Baptist Church membership is a commitment to one another—a willing pledge to guard, care, submit, support, and minister together for the building up of our church body.
The Definition of Church Membership
It is the state of belonging to a local church congregation, which in most cases, simultaneously makes one a member of a Christian denomination and the universal Christian Church.
To become a member of a church is to formally commit oneself to an identifiable, local body of believers who have joined together for specific, divinely ordained purposes.
The Basis for Church Membership
The idea of church membership began to take shape in Matthew 16 and 18 when Jesus first began to constitute his church. There he gave the church the keys of the kingdom, which means that he gave it authority to speak in his name both to what the gospel is and who is rightly confessing the gospel.
Entrance Requirements and their Accessibility
To assure passage of people using wheelchairs, or crutches, the opening must be at least 32 inches wide. If it is not readily achievable to provide a minimum 32 inch wide opening, then the opening should be as wide as possible.
We believe that as we allow the Holy Spirit to reveal His purposes and to presence Himself among His Church, people’s lives will be transformed.
