Chris & Cheryl’s Stories

Chris (June 20, 2009):

Before RCC life was different. There was talk of divorce, I spent no time with our two boys, and I wasn’t going to church. I was talking with a friend about how my life was a mess and she mentioned, “you might be missing Jesus.” I didn’t have a church home I was conformable with, so she invited me to RCC. The music filled my heart, and the message restored my soul. There was a lot of crying that day and in the weeks to follow. I gave my life to the Lord in November ’09. Though not perfect, our marriage has improved. I’m learning how to find time with my boys (all three of them), and I’m learning more about Jesus and his grace every day.

Cheryl (June 20, 2009):

Prior to RCC, I was a member of the Catholic faith. Though I attended just about every week there were many times I realized I was only attending because it’s what I always did. I never questioned much and was naïve to the many differences between Protestants and Catholics. When my husband and I were invited to attend RCC, I thought it would be for my husband’s sake and not my own. From the first service at RCC, I felt quite comfortable. It took me some time to really embrace what it meant to be a Christian. I was afraid of hurting my family, but knew I had to make the decision for myself. Almost a year later I decided to become born again. It took a couple of weeks for it to sink in, and when it did, I realized the fear I had lived in my whole life had disappeared, and I now knew the love Jesus had for me.
