Fellowship + Ministry
At its core, RPC is a community striving to follow Jesus Christ. We hold a diversity of views on religion, politics, and almost everything else, and while we don’t always agree (how boring would that be?) we love, pray and care for one another. Here’s how:
Sunday Morning Small Group, 9:15 AM
Led by both the pastor and members of the group, conversational in nature, addressing a wide variety of topics, but always grounded in scripture. If you’d like to join, email Pastor Robert at pastor.riverchsepc@gmail.com for the Zoom link.
The (Notorious) RPC Women
This group of women really enjoys being together, having fun and making new friends. They meet monthly following worship for food, fellowship and bible study.
Prayer Team + Care Team Ministry
The Prayer and Congregational Care Teams minister to the RPC family by collecting and sharing prayer concerns and ministering to the needs of the RPC community via frequent check-ins, a card ministry and coordinating social functions (which most often involve food).
There are also opportunities to share your special talents and engage your particular interests, by getting involved in the several ministries of the church, including Foundations, Missions, Outreach, Stewardship and Worship.
Our Mission
Christianity is about being the hands and feet of God and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in word and deed. At RPC we feel a particular calling through volunteerism and financial to support organizations that work for reconciliation and justice around the world and in our community.
