First Steps
Fellowship Essentials is a seven-week small group study of the distinctives of Parkway Baptist Church. During this study topics such as salvation by grace through faith, the doctrine of the church in the New Testament, the basics of spiritual growth, and opportunities for service at Parkway are covered. It is taught every quarter and is facilitated in a manner that encourages dialogue and questions (No topic related to Parkway Baptist Church is off limits!).
Church membership is very important. As a result, joining a church is a decision that should not be taken lightly. When you join a church, a mutual pledge of accountability and spiritual support is made between the church and the new member. Given the importance of this decision, we strongly encourage completion of Fellowship Essentials class prior to becoming a member of Parkway Baptist Church. We want you to be sure that Parkway is the right church family for you. Remember the words of Ecclesiastes 5:5, “It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.” We want everyone who joins Parkway Baptist Church to make an informed decision. If you would like more information about this class or any other aspect of our fellowship, please do not hesitate to contact one of our pastors.
