CLASS 101 Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long is the CLASS?
4 ½ hours, beginning at 4:00 and lasting until 8:30pm, with a dinner being served at approximately 6:15 pm

Q: What if at the end of the CLASS I don't know if I want to become a member yet?
That is fine, you can make that choice. This is a personal decision we suggest you give prayerful consideration and is between you and God.

Q: What if I have already been baptized by immersion after I committed my life to Christ, do I have to be re-baptized to become a member?
Not necessarily, you may be baptized again here at Ringgold, the best thing to do would be to contact our Senior Pastor and share with him the information regarding your baptism.

Q: I was baptized at another church by sprinkling, does that count?
One of the membership requirements is being baptized by immersion. Jesus was baptized by immersion, every baptism in the Bible was by immersion and the word, baptize literally means "to dip into water".

Q: Since the class is so long, will there be a dinner break?
Yes, approximately half way through the class we will break and be served dinner. Typically, pizza and salad is the evening's menu.
