Membership Matters is our membership orientation class for learning about the church and why church membership is so important. This class is what we require for one to be baptized and/or to join the church.

Taking place during our family groups (aka Sunday School) hour, this class will last for six weeks (as often as scheduled and needed), after which time we hope you will plug into one of our weekly family groups.

The topics covered in this 6-week class are:

April 16 – Session 1: What do we believe?

April 23 – Session 2: What is our church covenant?

April 30 – Session 3: Why join a church?

May 7 – Session 4: What is the history of the church?

May 14 – Session 5: What does it mean to live on mission?

May 21 – Session 6: How can we do life together?

This class is great for anyone who wants to learn more about Richland Baptist Church, what we believe, how to get involved, etc. Whether you are considering membership or not, you are welcome to join us.

Nursery and children’s family groups are provided for children of all ages.

If you have any questions and/or want more information, please contact us. For our regular weekly schedule, please click HERE.

Below, you can watch a short explanation of Christian baptism, followed by Travis’s testimony and baptism.

Next Sunday, January 15, Pastor Nick will begin a new sermon series through the book of Acts. What better place to consider who we are as a church and what we are called to do?! The themes of gospel, family, and mission run throughout Luke’s record of the early church. Will you join us as we study this book together over the next several months?

We will take a break in April – May for a sermon series on what we believe and then jump back into the book of Acts after that.

So, please make plans to join us for this new sermon series during our Sunday morning worship celebration at 10:40. For a lineup of the rest of our regular services and activities, please click HERE.

As always, if you have any questions, needs, and/or prayer requests, please let us know.

Please feel free to invite your unchurched family and friends to join us for this outreach event, as all are welcome. We will start with supper at 5 p.m., with the game beginning shortly thereafter.

During halftime of the game, you will have the opportunity to hear from International Mission Board missionary, Joy Martin, about her work in Southeast Asia.

If you have any questions about this event or about Richland Baptist Church, please contact us.

Please mark your calendars for our annual fall festival, which will be held at our church facilities on Sunday, October 16th from 3-7 p.m. As always, this event includes supper (FREE FISH FRY, along with other great food), music, basketball, kickball, octaball, other games, pumpkin decorating, the bounce house, popcorn, bonfires, hayrides, and more.

Something folks in our church and in our community look forward to each year, the fall festival is a great opportunity to fellowship with others, make new friends, enjoy great food and have a lot of fun. Because there is no set program, you can come and go as you please, but the games and activities will start at 3:00, with supper around 5:00 and the last event of the evening, the hayrides, starting around 6:00.

Church members, please be sure to bring lawn chairs for yourself and to share with others, if possible. Thank you!
