Question 1

Do I have to take Foundations course to be baptized at TriCity Church?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the foundations course is required for all individuals who would like to be baptized at TriCity Church. This is because the course includes important information about baptism and membership in the local church, as well as other foundational truths that we believe will help equip you for your future service for Christ and his church.

Question 2

What happens if I miss a class?

Accepted Answer

You are not required to attend all six classes, but the course is designed for each of the sessions to build on one another, so you will not get as much out of the course if you miss sessions. If you can’t attend one of the sessions, we would encourage you to attend that specific session the next time foundations is offered (we run it three times a year). If you are wanting to be baptized though, we do require you to attend session 4 (What Do Baptism and the Lord’s Supper Mean?) and session 6 (What does our Church believe?).

Question 3

Is the Foundations course required to apply for membership?

Accepted Answer

The foundations class is not required to apply for membership if you have already been baptized as a believer. You may simply take the membership class (session 6) and then apply for membership.

Question 4

Should I still attend the Sunday morning gathering?

Accepted Answer

We would strongly encourage you not to think of the Foundations class as a replacement for gathering with the church on Sunday mornings. We hope you can attend one of the other gatherings and also still come to the foundations class so you are not missing out on the corporate worship of God with his people.

Question 5

Is there child care available?

Accepted Answer

There is childcare available during this time in the TriCity Kids classes.
