RCC believes that families are very important. In fact, we often refer to ourselves as a family of families here at RCC.
Wonder. Discovery. Passion.
These are three relational dials we turn at strategic times throughout a child’s development — at home AND at church. Each one is naturally highlighted at specific stages. Wonder. Discovery. Passion. These are three relational dials we turn at strategic times throughout a child’s development — at home AND at church. Each one is naturally highlighted at specific stages.
- For pre-schoolers: Wonder! We teach them to put faith in a God they cannot see, but who is bigger than anything they’ll ever face. Core truths: God made me! God loves me! Jesus wants to be my friend forever!
- For elementary age: Discovery! We teach them to unpack Scripture and discover how it intersects with their life in a relevant way. Core truths: I can trust God no matter what. I need to make the wise choice. I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
- For middle school & high school: Passion! We teach them that they have a purpose. There’s a reason God put them on this planet, and they can make a positive difference in the lives of others. Core truth: We’re created to demonstrate God’s love every day to a broken world.
In an effort to promote families and provide them with the resources needed to grow closer to Christ and closer to each other, we offer opportunities for children, teens, and parents.

It’s a very important part of RCC and families working together on the same thing at the same time with the same strategy, in order to raise kids who know, love, and serve God!
