Ever been to churches that just feel like a place...a building? A building to go to on Sunday, then leave?
RPC is not that kinda place...from the first time we arrived it felt "different." People sought us out to introduce themselves...the pastor remembered our name the next time we visited...it felt like a place that people really were living and DOING what they said they believed. This isnt just a Sunday-morning-building. This church is about RECEIVING, EQUIPPING, IMPACTING, and SENDING people. Not just gathering, socializing, and then dispersing.
What started for our family as a place has become a way of life. A way of DOING what we believe. RPC is about the people...the Church. It's about making more and better followers of Christ.
The impact it's had on our family has been quantum. Men do "man stuff" -- everything from digging deep into the Bible to mountain biking and camping. Women's ministry has been the way I've met lots of new friends while studying God's Word, doing crafty stuff, social stuff, and serving outside RPC. As for our kids, the options have made us "fit" right in. On Wed nites there are tons of things going on (including ManUp where our high school son goes to learn man skills, eat a meal, and hear a message). Even Mondays there are study times in the coffee shop (Mocha Monday) that any middle school kid thinks is way COOL. For the lil ones, the programs and fun on Sundays are inspiring.
RPC has been a game-changer for us...come check it out. Meet someone and ask them about their experience...I'll bet u hear a similar story. read more
