Discover Riverwood & the Membership Process
Discover Riverwood
If you are looking for a way to learn about Riverwood this is the class for you! Discover Riverwood is a three week course about our priorities, structures, and beliefs.
Discover Riverwood is offered three times per year. Our next course will be offered June 2, 9, and 16, 2013. The Membership Module will be June 23 for those wishing to become Riverwood members.
Riverwood Membership
Membership in a local church is a formal act of affiliation. By becoming a member of Riverwood a person aligns themselves with Riverwood’s beliefs, attitudes, leadership, and mission. Of course someone can align themselves without becoming a member, and many choose to do so. Membership is, however, an additional step.
By becoming a member a person aligns themselves with Riverwood on an even deeper level. As part of the process of membership a person covenants themselves to certain beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. A member commits to Riverwood in gathering, giving, prayer, and service. By becoming a member a person is not only committing to these actions and attitudes, but they are also saying that they have become the spiritual responsibility of this local church. Further, they are also saying they take responsibility for the health of this local church themselves.Attending and completing the three week Discover Riverwood course is a prerequisite to become a member of Riverwood Community Chapel.
After completing the Discover Riverwood classes, you can become a candidate for membership by attending one additional class - the Membership Module. This class is offered immediately following each Discover Riverwood course. If you have completed a Discover Riverwood course previously, but did attend the Membership Module, you do not need to retake the Discover Riverwood Course, you may become a member by completing just the one week extension.
