Connection Groups
1 Corinthians 14:26
What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
Connection groups are open to all people...RCRC members, non-members, believers, non-believers, Christians, and non-Christians.
They provide a setting for:
... faithful loving of each other as Christ loved us.
... understanding what it means to believe and live as followers of Christ.
... visitors and new members to immerse themselves in our church life.
... people to share joys and struggles with their brothers and sisters in
Christ.
... a group to plan service projects that reach out to others in our church or
community.
... working out the implications and application of the gospel in our lives.
The Connection Groups listed below are open to new participants.
Information Brochures are located at the Welcome Center and in the
