Our Mission:

Introducing people to Jesus and the work He calls us to.

(Ephesians 2:1-10)

Core Values:

Gospel Centered

Those who follow Christ were once dead and now because of His free gift are alive. This life brings hope, purpose, and meaning that compels us to share with others. Jesus is at the center of everything that is done because without Him we would have nothing worth doing, sharing, or receiving.

Sacrificial Living

Living sacrificially is more than being generous with our money, it is seeing our call to be a servant as more than a good idea but as a model of ministry given to us by Jesus (Matthew 20:28). We must run to the mess, be bothered, inconvenienced and give all we have and more for those we come in contact with. We must live in such a way that people ask why we live the way we do and we can share the Truth with them (1 Peter 3:15-16). We will develop a culture that sees sacrifice as more than just giving away of our earthly possessions, but giving away of ourselves to benefit someone else and to increase the kingdom of God.

Missional Community

“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return in drawing near” (Hebrews 10:25). God exists in community with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. As we are created in His image, we are also built for community. This is the very foundation of RCC.
