RLC Connect is a one night event with one goal in mind: to give you the resources you need to connect with a church community so you can take the next steps in your relationship with Jesus Christ. At RLC Connect, you will learn more about us and how to get connected by walking through the following topics: Our Story, Our Vision, Ownership, Serving, Community, and Next Steps. This is a free dinner event and childcare is also provided. To let us know you would like more information and attend the next RLC Connect event, please rsvp below.
Our Story
Hear about the behind the scenes story of RLC through the journey of our pastors from Alabama to Bowling Green. You’ll also hear about where we are today as well as a little of our vision for the future.
Our Vision
A mission statement is the engine that drives everything else you do. At RLC, our mission is simply this: We exist to develop fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. A vision is how you see that mission come to life. At RLC, our vision is see people become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ by helping them Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their God Given Purpose, and then Make a Difference. Discover your part in this story at RLC Connect.
Ownership
Our goal is to move from spiritual consumers to spiritual contributors. We believe that we do not exist FOR the church, but we believe we ARE the church and we exist to reach the world. Understand how you can become part of the church and part of the solution to a world that desperately needs answers.
Serving Opportunities
You are never closer to the heart of God than when you are connected to spiritual community and serving together to make a difference in the lives of others. Discover the teams at RLC, our desire to serve, and what team best fits your gifts and passions.
There are various teams to fit you: Impressions Team, Experience Team, KidsLife, StudentLife, LifeGroups, Outreach Groups
Community
At RLC, we are not a church who HAVE LifeGroups. We are a church OF LifeGroups. We believe that we must constantly be growing bigger (reaching lost people) but also growing smaller (LifeGroups) to do life and disciple people. We believe life happens in circles not in rows. LifeGroups provide others with a chance to be part of a community of faith where you can connect, protect, and growth together. Learn more about LifeGroups here.
Our Hope For You
Our hope for you is to become a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ. At RLC, we want to help you Know God, Find Freedom, Discover Your Purpose, so that we can Make a Difference together. Our hope is you will continue taking next steps and help others around you do the same.
