If you are considering joining KCBT or would like to learn more about us, this is the place to start.

This class is designed to clearly define who and what makes up our church; it also provides a basic introduction to our church family. Find answers to your questions about the Bible’s teaching on salvation, learn how to become part of our family, and discover opportunities to use your gifts to serve. You do not need to register in advance, simply join us the first Sunday of each month to begin!

At the end of the class, you’ll be given the chance to complete the membership process. We can accept your membership in one of the following ways:

• Transfer of Letter
  “And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.” I Corinthians 16:3
  As a member in good standing of another church of like faith, we can contact your church for a verification letter to transfer your membership. Your membership becomes effective after you complete the First Connections Class and we receive the letter from your previous church.
• Statement of Faith
  If you have been biblically baptized in a church of like faith after salvation but situations prevent a transfer of letter (church closing, fire destroyed records, etc.), we will accept your statement of faith for membership during our First Connections Class.
• Baptism
  If you have not been baptized by immersion after confessing Christ as your Savior then you will need to join our church by baptism. In the First Connections Class you will receive a schedule of baptism dates; for more details click here. Your membership becomes effective after you are baptized and complete the First Connections Class.

Membership FAQ

Why do I need to attend this class?
The First Connections class allows us the privilege of getting to know you while you get to know us. As you learn what we believe, our mission and how you can take part, you will be better equipped to make a decision to choose KCBT as your church home.

What can I expect from the class?
The First Connections class will help you understand how we are born into God’s family, the expectations He has for his children, and the mission He gives to each local church of believers. You will learn specifically how you can get equipped and exercise your gifts to fulfill God’s specific plan for you life.

What if I am unable to attend for four straight weeks?
We understand that work schedules, sickness, etc. may cause you to miss a week of class. The First Connections class starts over every month. You can make up a missed week by attending that same week during the following month. Please speak with the First Connections Class secretary to arrange your make up classes. Your membership will be in pending status until you attend the week(s) missed.

We do not require children (up to 6th grade) to attend our membership classes before becoming members of KCBT, however, we do ask that you contact our Children’s Pastor Donivan Best at 816.358.0988 x 2086. This allows him the opportunity to speak with you and your child(ren) before we bring them into our membership. Pastor Donivan will let you know the necessary steps to activate your child(ren)’s membership. Junior High and Senior High students are encouraged to attend the First Connections Class with their parents.
