FAQs
We find that some of these questions tend to pop up as people investigate
getting involved in The Burn...
Q: Do I have to be an actual member at
your church to attend?
A: Not at all! Some of our youth
are members (and we have a separate process for this for those who
are interested), but many of them are not. We want you to come and
be a part of our community without having to be a member, per se,
especially if church is something new for you.
Q: If I belong to another church (or if
I'm involved in another youth group), then can I still come to your
group?
A: Of course! We should state
up front, however, that we are not interested in competing for your
time with another church. So many of you are quite busy as it is,
and we don't want to add another thing to your schedules if you are
involved in another Bible-believing church! We would rather you be
involved in your home church, assuming you are being fed spiritually,
but you are always welcome.
Q: What if I don't believe everything your
group believes, or what if I'm not sure what I believe? Can I still
come?
A: Please
come! We understand that you may not believe all that we believe.
In fact, many of our youth are at varying stages of their faith. Many
believe in Christ; some are not sure what they believe, but they're
interested. All of us have questions. Though the church as a whole,
along with its leaders, believes that which is written in the About
Us link, and though we make no attempt to hide our beliefs, we
recognize that things take time for people.
Q: Will people judge me if I don't believe
what they believe?
A: The Bible teaches that we
shouldn't judge others, and so we seek to live according to this principle.
We will challenge your beliefs, just as we are all challenged to move
into a deeper relationship (or, perhaps, even to begin one) with our
Lord Jesus. Here at The Burn, we do our best to create a welcoming
environment, which allows you to join in on our discussions and see
what we believe. All the while, we pray that you will be challenged
to consider the claims of Jesus Christ.
