New Members Class

Welcoming new converts into the body of Christ, and new members into ministry at Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Temple is very important to us. To help facilitate this process, a New Members’ Class was established. During this class, new members and new converts are taught the mission, vision, and core values of SMZBT, and how these philosophical doctrines find expression in the daily lives of our members. They are also taught our church history as well as important information on being a member of the Baptist Faith.

This class runs several times throughout the year, with each session lasting 1 ½ hours. This class lasts six weeks. At the end of the class, a Spiritual Inventory will be administered to help the new members look toward doing ministry.

Topics included in the New Members’ Class are:

• Session I – Mission, Vision, Core Values of SMZBT; Our Salvation
• Session II – Baptism and The Lord’s Supper
• Session III – Articles of Faith
• Session IV – Prayer
• Session V – Stewardship
• Session VI – Ministry, History of Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Temple

All new members and converts are strongly encouraged to take this class. At the end of this class, all participants are strongly encouraged to begin the MasterLife process.

“So you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have been made like him. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Christians – you are in Christ Jesus.”
--Galatians 3:26-28
