REMINDER TO ALL WHO ATTEND RBC: In light of the current high transmission rates of COVID-19 in our communities, especially now growing among children in school, and the increase in people contact we are all having during the holidays, the Elder Team want to remind everyone of our current policy of respectfully requesting that everyone wear a mask during church activities to keep those around you safer. This is not a change, but a friendly reminder for all of us during this Christmas season. Thank you.

We pray especially for those you’ve called into ministry, to be leaders, teachers, discipleship and friends in our church and community. Keep God’s word fresh in their hearts, renewing and refreshing their spirit for their work ahead. May they seek your counsel daily, give them godly wisdom day by day as they tackle their designated ministry work and guide them as they give spiritual guidance to others around them… Amen.

Mission: “Impact Teens to Impact the World”

We offer a program for teens grades 5-12 who are committed to Christ and want to get their friends hooked up with Christ too.

The goal of this team is to worship God, explore His Word (the Bible), grow stronger roots in our faith, and plan our strategy for getting the word out to our friends and neighbors.

Every other week we practice what we preach by going into our communities and inviting our friends and neighbors.

YOUTH GROUP SCHEDULE: Sunday’s 5:00 – 6:30 pm, Ministry Center

To Teach and Disciple: We want to develop authentic Christ followers. (Matthew 28:19-20) Service: We are committed to serving each other as well as the community around us. (Galatians 5:13) Building Relationships Teen Extreme Outreach: We are committed to reaching out to share the love of God with other teens. (Mark 16:15) Being an Example: We as leaders are committed to being an example to our teens so that they can be an example in their communities. (1 Corinthians 11:1)
