Teaching Covenant Church Membership at First Baptist Church Dalhart, TX

The purpose of this project is to teach covenant church membership at First Baptist Church in Dalhart, Texas. Chapter 1 described the context of FBCD and the project’s rationale. Four goals were set to guide the project’s design and implementation. Chapter 2 established the biblical and theological basis for covenant church membership. Because God relates to his people through covenant, his people should relate to one another in covenant. Chapter 3 examined the practical benefits of covenant church membership. It leads to greater spiritual growth, enables restorative church discipline, and presents a better witness of the gospel to the world. Chapter 4 depicted the project’s implementation. Implementation included assessing the church’s knowledge of church membership, writing and teaching a six-week curriculum, and reassessing those who attended the course. Chapter 5 evaluated the project. This included evaluating the goals and offering personal reflections about the project’s strengths and weaknesses.
