To Whom It May Concern;
I will be moving to the Westboro area, and was inquiring about membership into your church. I feel that you have a very true to the scripture message, And would be honored to continue study of the bible through your church. If you could give me any information regarding membership and preparation for your Word it would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Brynn,
ALL people are welcome to come, sit and listen to the preaching. We recommend it. But membership in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not handed out like stickers at your check up. It is not a social club. If you have a heart to know your God, I would think that you would know this.
We have a simple plan called "butts in seats" – when the church of the Lord Jesus Christ meets, His people have their butts in the seats. THAT is where we learn and THAT is where God meets with his people. THAT is what the Bible says and THAT is what we find to be true!
Check out this beautiful language:
Malachi 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Truly, you should read EVERY word of Malachi – solid gold, the nuggets are all over the ground!
Thanks for writing.
