Interested in church membership?
Here are the basic steps to joining the church body at Flint Reformed Baptist Church.
Step 1: Indicate Interest to Pursue Membership – A candidate for membership may express interest in joining Flint Reformed Baptist Church by speaking to one of our church elders.
Step 2: Attend a Prospective New Member Class – Our membership class is offered several times each year. Typically, the class meets for four one-hour sessions on consecutive Sunday afternoons. Many topics are covered to convey FRBC’s history, core beliefs, responsibilities for members, and vision.
Step 3: Participate in a Prospective Membership Interview – This is an opportunity for at least two of the elders to get to know you better, hear about your conversion, baptism, and walk with Christ, as well as answer any questions you may have about Flint Reformed Baptist Church.
Step 4: Sign the Church Covenant – New Member candidates will be asked to sign the church covenant.
Step 5: Receive Congregational Affirmation – New Member candidates will be presented to the congregation at a Members’ Meeting, at which time the congregation will be asked to officially vote to approve the candidates as members of FRBC.
We recognize the importance of teaching in doctrine (what we should believe) and training in obedience (how we should live). Our Discipleship Training courses seek to accomplish these two goals in the lives of our members.
For High School & Adults
Theological Study
January 19–March 23, our high school students and adults will be studying Historical Theology. These 10 weeks, we will be focusing on the medieval period, noting some of its theological accomplishments as well as some of its faults. Lord willing, as we examine our past, we will see God's hand a providence and be better equipped to follow him in the future.
For Middle School
The Baptist Catechism
"What is God?" "What is justification?" "How should a Christian live in the world?" These are all important and challenging question that students begin to face in their middle school years. Our discipleship training course helps them answer these questions from the Bible by walking through The Baptist Catechism in six 10-week sections. There will be a lesson on various questions every week along with take-home material for them to read and review with their parents.
For Kids
The Gospel Story for Kids
Discipleship Training for children aged 3 through Kindergarten and 1st through 5th grade meet in classrooms for lessons and games. The Gospel Story for Kids chronologically walks through Scripture showing the gospel in every story. From the God's creation of the world to the His throne in Heaven, we want to help our kid's see the good news of Jesus in all of it.
The Second London Baptist Confession of Faith (published in 1689) is the confession of our church.
We hope to provide more information on this soon. In the meantime, we encourage you to read the confession as well as our point of deviation from the confession.
