Membership
Before you call a church a “home,” we believe there are some questions you deserve to have answered. We offer Membership 101, our new members class, to do just that! You can find the basics here, but you’ll definitely want to join is at Membership 101 if you are considering becoming a member at New Bridge Church.
The Basics
What is Membership 101?
Membership 101 is a tour of life and membership here at New Bridge. In it, we will cover what we believe, our mission and vision, as well as expectations of our members. Simply coming to Membership 101 does not make you a member. On the contrary, at the end of Membership 101, we ask those in attendance to make a covenant commitment to the mission and vision and to other members. We, in turn, make a covenant to shepherd and care for you.
