Church Membership & Attendance Policies

 

Church Membership Policy

QUESTION: Why is church membership and church attendance at Rosedale Baptist Church mandatory for families who wish to enroll children in grades 1st - 12th?

ANSWER:  Rosedale Baptist School began in September of 2000 as an educational ministry available solely to the membership of Rosedale Baptist Church. The officers of RBC, in setting up this  school admissions policy, felt that Christian education is best offered in the context of working with the entire family through the whole church program while a child is enrolled at RBS.

Beginning the fall of 2001, the officers of the church agreed to open our program up in the Pre-Kindergarten and the Kindergarten grades to allow non-church member’s children to attend. However, it was decided because of our desire to be effective in ministering to entire families, that grades 1st  – 12th  would remain closed so that ONLY regularly attending Rosedale Baptist Church families would be eligible to enroll their children.

Parents who are non-members, and who wish to enroll their children in RBS in grades 1st  – 12th  must be willing to join RBC and attend church regularly. The administration of RBS does not encourage parents to join RBC unless they are confident that the church will meet their spiritual needs. The reasons that people choose a particular church or denomination are numerous and complex. Therefore, non-members interested in considering RBC membership are encouraged to visit RBC an appropriate number of times to ensure the integrity of their decision and, if necessary, to set up an appointment with a member of the pastoral staff to discuss the church.
