Membership Class

Welcome to Discovering Church Membership! After you have completed Steps 1 & 2 of Explore RidgeNaz, we invite you to consider formal membership in our church. This online class will talk more about our faith statement, values and our vision. When you are ready to begin, watch the welcome video below.

Part 2: What do we believe?

Every church has a statement of faith, sometimes also called a doctrinal statement. Basically, a statement of faith outlines very specifically what we believe about God, about truth, about humans, and about life, both now and what we experience after we die. Turn to page 7 and follow along as Jason walks through our statement of faith in the video below. Click here to read the formal version of the articles of faith of the Church of the Nazarene.
