Our Values
At RLCC, we live by one powerful set of values that shape everything we do. If you want to join us and serve the Lord together with us, itโs important to know, understand, and embrace these values. To help you remember them easily, we use the acrostic COMMUNITY as our guide.
Letโs walk through what each letter means:
Letโs walk through what each letter means:
- C โ Christ and His Kingdom come first โ๏ธ
Our top priority is always Jesus and His Kingdom. Everything we do is focused on following Him, becoming like Him, and doing what He will do if He is us in our life situations.
- O โ Obedience to Godโs Word ๐
We strive to listen to and follow Godโs instructions in the Bible every day. The Bible is the basis of every truth and practice in RLCC.
- M โ Maintain sacred rhythms โณ
Having regular times for prayer, worship, and rest is essential. Being with Jesus through sacred rhythms of faith, or what we call godly habits, is what we teach everyone from the very beginning.
- M โ Make time for shared spiritual experiences ๐ค
We love coming together for worship, prayer, and fellowship because growing in faith is better together. This is why we coined the word "communityship."
- U โ Use discernment in decisions ๐ง
We carefully seek Godโs guidance and wisdom before making major choices. Therefore, we do not just go ahead and do things. We seek the Lord first.
- N โ Notice Godโs movement ๐
We stay alert to how God is working around us and in our community. We learn from the Lord, first from His word, but also through our life experiences.
- I โ Invite openness and transparency ๐ฌ
Being honest and open with one another builds trust and accountability. We don't want to live in hypocrisy. We want to speak the truth in love to one another.
- T โ Take Godโs Word as truth and wisdom ๐
When it comes to disagreements or conflicts, the Bible is our ultimate guide and foundation for all we believe and do. We don't want to be guided by mere emotion or personal preferences.
- Y โ Yield to Godโs sovereignty ๐
We trust that God is in control, and we find peace knowing He leads us through the Holy Spirit. We surrender all outcomes to the Lord.
