Conversion to the Christian faith is a momentous event in a person’s life, but it is only the beginning of a journey. Local church membership and effective discipleship are two essential elements for nurturing, strengthening, and guiding new believers in their walk with Christ. Understood and practiced biblically, they are vital tools for building a vibrant and committed community of faith.
Membership in a local church is not simply a formal registration, but a deliberate commitment to be part of a community of believers who support, encourage, and challenge one another to grow in their faith. It is a recognition that the Christian life is not designed to be lived in isolation, but in community.
The Torch of Salvation Baptist Church has been discipling a group of new believers who have professed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. You have been instructed in basic doctrines of the faith, spiritual disciplines, and ecclesiology so that you may have a better understanding of God and his glorious gospel, leading to a daily walk of obedience to the Lord.
May the Lord guide you through his Spirit and his word, and may you be part of our congregation in his will!
