JOINING WALNUT RIDGE
Once a person makes a decision to follow Christ, he or she immediately becomes a part of a new family. This is a forever family! With God as Father, all followers of Christ become brothers and sisters. The Bible also says that new believers became part of the worldwide church, which includes every Christian all over the world in the present and in the past. Pretty amazing, right?
In addition, the New Testament repeatedly refers to local churches, which met in homes and small gathering places in various cities.
Bottom line: if you're part of the worldwide church, you should be a part of a local church. Walnut Ridge would love to be that church.
Membership at Walnut Ridge is about commitment. This church becomes committed to supporting and equipping your spiritual growth. You become committed to attend, volunteer, and support your church family.
