We’re planting a new, life-giving church in the city of Orrville in 2024! If you want to get involved or have questions, please fill out the form at the link and our campus pastor will be in touch soon.
2024 Special Missions Project
More than 670,000 children pass through the modern orphan system known as foster care in America each year. A daily average of 435,000 kids are in the foster care system and growing up without healthy homes and family.
Our Special Missions Project for 2024 is to give $25,000 to Compact Family Services. CompACT aims to redeem the life and future of vulnerable children through many ministries, including Hillcrest Children’s Home, Highlands Maternity Home, CompaCare and Foster Care. The $25,000 pledged by RLC will provide funds for needed repairs in one of their facilities.
Please be praying about what God may be asking you to give this year. Perhaps that is giving of your time to go on a missions trip, committing to pray for the children impacted by the foster care system, or by making a pledge to give weekly, monthly, or yearly to missions.

Life Groups
What is a Life Group?
Hosted by leaders at homes in your community, Life Groups are an opportunity to share a meal and connect with a small group. This is a safe place to be real, ask questions, and learn from God’s Word. Take a front row seat to see what God is doing. Regardless of the stage of life you are in right now, everyone is welcome. This is the glue that holds life and faith together.
When are Life Groups?
Life Groups typically meet from 6-8pm on the third Sunday of every month from September to May.

Against The Current
Have you ever wondered why it can be so hard to follow Jesus in our day and age? It’s because there are any number of things working against us! Whether it be the culture we live in, the desires we have, or the devil himself, there are so many things waging war against our souls. In Against The Current we’re going to look at some timeless enemies of our soul, cultural issues, and strategies of how we can live for Jesus when everything is designed to push us away from him.
Applied Theology
Do you find yourself intimidated by the subject of Theology? For the next nine weeks, we will discuss some topics that often seem controversial, confusing or unclear about God – in hopes of bringing clarity and understanding to who God is, what He desires, and how he operates. We will cover topics such as the Trinity, apologetics, the significance of the historical Jesus and how to interpret God in the Bible.
