SUNDAY SERVICE OF WORSHIP
We gather together for corporate worship of our triune God on the Lord's Day. Our
service features preaching from the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, private
and corporate prayer, and theologically sound music reflecting covenantal diversity
across generations. We pursue worship that is God-directed, Christ-centered and
Spirit-enabled. The Lord's Supper is ordinarily observed the first Sunday of each
month.

Weekly course offerings designed to educate and equip both children and adults in
their walk with Christ and service to Him as His disciples. All curriculum is Bible-based
and age-specific.

CHILDREN'S CHURCH
Children ages 2 through fifth grade are ministered to in a special way during the
worship service on Sunday mornings to make the time more meaningful and to train
them in worship. Children ages 2–4 will meet separately for the entire service for
supervised play time, a Bible lesson and activities. Children age 5 through 5th
grade will worship with their families and be dismissed at the sermon for teaching
and crafts. Once a month this older group will meet in the balcony area for instruction
in worship using a special childrens bulletin called RPC Junior Jots & Tittles
prepared by Pastor Gale specifically for that week.
