TBC Memory Verses
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Romans 10:9-11
That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

Several of the Elders are going to be making trips to visit like-minded churches in the region over the next couple of months to seek counsel from other godly leaders. We will continue to send out periodic updates. Please feel free to talk with any of the elders about your ideas or to ask any questions you may have.
