River Christian Church or “RCC”, as we are referred to, is part of the Restoration Movement. This group was formed in the late 1700s to early 1800s, not in an attempt to reform any particular denomination, but rather in an effort to restore the “original” church of the New Testament.

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. Eleven families began this journey on March 1, 2015, with no pastor, no worship leader, and no prior organizational plan.

Within four weeks we had incorporated and, through a series of God-ordained events, began to meet in a rent-free vacant building.  As it turns out the owners had been praying that God would use their vacant building for His Glory.

RCC is on a mission to see Clay County transformed. We believe that encountering the love of the Father, living in the power of the Holy Spirit, participating in the Kingdom mission of Jesus, and building the family of faith for continued growth is essential to becoming the people God has created us to be. 

WIN people, TRAIN believers, UNLEASH disciples

Every person is created in God’s image for purposes much larger than self. A disciple of Jesus is anyone who has left an old way of life to follow and become like Jesus in all areas of their lives. We believe that Jesus extends His invitation to become His disciple to every single human being in the world. At RCC, we want to create a welcoming environment for all people to encounter Jesus, TRAIN believers to develop a deeper relationship with Jesus and UNLEASH disciples into the world to WIN more people to the saving grace of Jesus.
