  3. It defines what it means to become a member of God's Church. By using God's Word as the final authority, New Member's orientation also seeks to emphasize the distribution between a true conversion and church membership.
The topics discussed in the course are designed to motivate the new member to become an avid student of the bible and an umcompromising doer of God's Word.
