IN THE BEGINNING
March 1, 2015
THE BEGINNING
River Christian Church, or RCC, first met at the Eagle Harbor Pool with eleven families, or approximately thirty people, in attendance. Our journey began with the belief that a New Testament church must have local leadership in order to properly minister to its members and community. We started with no lead pastor, no worship leader, and no prior organizational plan!
Average Attendance: 30

THE CEMETERY
Yes, our second location was a CEMETERY. Why? Because it was free! The owners of the Russell Haven of Rest Cemetery had been praying for God to reveal a way for them to use their business to grow his Kingdom and God answered that prayer in a mighty way and… untraditional way!
Average Attendance: 65

THE FUNERAL HOME
As RCC continued to experience explosive growth we needed more space and moved to the Russell Haven of Rest Funeral Home. The same owners as the Cemetery continued to partner with us by allowing us to continue hosting services rent-free.
Average Attendance: 80

HAPPY EASTER!
Thanks to the generosity of Russell Haven of Rest we were able to bless our community financially while also saving money to purchase a building. We purchased the building formerly known as Wehner’s Dance Studio at 515 College Drive in Middleburg, Florida. Our grand opening was on Easter Sunday of 2018.
Average Attendance: 350

OPEN UP THE HEAVENS
Due to an unfortunate moisture issue (a fire sprinkler burst and it started raining in our worship center), we made an unexpected move to Saint John’s Classical Academy at 114 Canova Road in Fleming Island.
Average Attendance: 500
