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.

UPDATE: Sunday evening services have also been canceled. We hope to see you Wednesday evening, though.

Do you have questions about the Bible, faith, church, family, ministry, etc. that you would like to ask Pastor Nick? If so, let us know HERE, as we will resume Ask the Pastor at a later date.

Starting this Wednesday, though, we will be discussing the “Fear of Man.” What does it mean to fear man, and how can we live our lives fearing God, rather than being consumed with a fear of what others might think about us?

If you have been unable to join us on Wednesday evenings, we invite you to listen to the summaries of  Nick’s responses to the Ask the Pastor questions submitted to him.

Sundays:

9:30 a.m. – Family Groups 
–Family groups are Bible study fellowships for all ages – children, youth and adults. Nursery is included for infants and toddlers, too. We consider family groups to be an essential ministry for discipleship and relationships.

10:40 a.m. – Morning Worship Service
–Morning worship is an essential time of growing in God’s Word together. It’s that time of the week when most of our church family is all together for the purpose of worshiping our Lord and building up His body. For those who are interested, we also provide nursery (toddlers and infants) and children’s ministry (kindergarten and below) during our morning worship services. Currently, Pastor Nick’s sermon series is “Discipleship 101” from the Gospel of Mark.

6:00 p.m. – Life on Mission
–Life on Mission is our Sunday evening worship service with discussion on how we can apply what we’re learning on Sundays to our daily lives and understand how to better live our lives on mission for God.

Wednesdays:

5:45 p.m. – Evening Meal
–Our Wednesday evening meal is a great time of fellowship and encouragement. Everyone is invited to join us for great food and fun together.

6:30 p.m. – Prayer and Bible Study / TeamKID / Youth Group
–With ministries for all ages (both children and adults), Wednesday evenings provide a great recharge for the middle of the week. The events include our adults’ prayer meeting and Bible study (from 6:30 – 7:30), youth group (from 6:15 – 7:30 for grades 6-12), and TeamKID (from 6:15 – 7:30 for all children who are elementary-aged and below).

Joining Richland for our Wednesday evening activities is a great way to get encouraged, challenged, sharpened and equipped to continue your daily journey in the faith.

And, if you are already doing well, Wednesday evenings are a great time to be a blessing and encouragement others who might be struggling. Please make plans to join us.

Although there will be no childcare provided on Wednesday evenings during the summer months, we still encourage families with children to join us, as our Family Fellowship Devotions will be very informal and will be intentionally geared toward everyone, including children. We want to grow together as a family, and we believe this will be a great way to do that.

So, join us for supper at 5:45, followed by an informal time of fellowship (when the kids will be welcome to play games, play at the playground, etc.)* until 7:00, at which time we will have a short Bible study and group discussion time. For those interested and without children, prayer meeting will be from 6:30 – 7:00, at which time you can join the rest for Bible study.

If you have any questions, please contact us. Hope to see you Wednesday!

*NOTE: Parents and guardians will be responsible for the supervision of their children during the entirety of our Wednesday evening activities.
