RCC WORSHIP

RCC Worship exists to glorify God by creating experiences that invite people to connect with God through music and art. We seek to glorify God by living a life of worship; inviting God to inwardly transform our hearts to overflow into an outward expression of praise.

Be sure to listen to the newly recorded RCC Worship Team Christmas Album on either Itunes or Spotify.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Everyone is welcome at RCC, even if you don’t believe what we believe or don’t know what you believe.

We believe the Bible is God’s Word and is the only adequate guide for living a Christian Life. The below statements summarize the emphasis and direction of RCC. Our teaching, culture, and direction are shaped and based on the foundational biblical beliefs below.

GOD

There is only one true God. He is sovereign over all creation. God exists equally in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is revealed to us through His creation, the Scriptures, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. God perfectly defines and expresses truth and love to us, desires relationship with every person.

Matthew 11:27, Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-4, 2 Corinthians 13:14, 1 John 4:16

JESUS

Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, equal with God the Father and God the Spirit. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary and was fully God and fully man. During His earthly ministry His miraculous acts, sinless life, pure and perfect teachings, and fulfillment of prophecy confirmed His Deity. While He experienced human emotions, physical sufferings, and temptations He acted completely in obedience to the Father. He died for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead. He ascended into Heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father and is our High Priest and Advocate, and will return again someday to claim His own and take them to Heaven.

Matthew 1:22-23, John 1:1-3, Romans 8:3, Luke 4:21, Acts 3:18, 1 Corinthians 15:1-7, Philippians 2:5-11

HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is equal with God the Father and God the Son. He is present in the world to make men aware of their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit indwells every person from the very moment of salvation. The Holy Spirit produces new life in us and helps each believer to understand Scripture, discern what is right, and provides the strength to serve and obey God. The Holy Spirit’s influence becomes greater and more effective in us as we yield to His leading in obedience.

John 3:1-7, Romans 8:9-10, Ephesians 1:14, 4:30, 2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5

MAN

Man is (we are) made in the image of God to be like Him in character. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. All have sinned against God, and as a result, will incur not only physical death, but a spiritual death, eternal separation from God. Only God’s mercy and love for us, through Christ’s sacrifice, makes it possible for each of us to have our sins forgiven and a relationship with Him.

John 3:1, Genesis 1:27; Psalms 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Isaiah 59:1-2; Romans 3:23

THE BIBLE

The Bible is God’s Word. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture or error. The Bible is infallible, inerrant, and absolute truth. Where it speaks, we listen and obey.

Psalms 12:6, 119:105, 160; Proverbs 30:5; 2 Timothy 1:13, 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21

BAPTISM

The Greek word for baptism is: baptizo. The definition is: to be immersed, to be buried in, to dip, to be put under. We believe that authentic faith expresses itself in repentance – a purposeful “change in direction” and in immersion in Jesus’ name. Repentance is our sincere acknowledgement that God’s judgment against sin is just, and baptism, in water and Spirit, is our confession that Jesus saves us from sin.

Baptism is an act commanded by Christ and confirmed by the Apostles. The immersion into water connects the believer to the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, and is a testimony of our faith. It is a public proclamation that we are a follower of Christ. In Baptism we are clothed in Christ.

Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 2:38-39, Colossians 2:11-12; Romans 6:3-5, Galatians 3:26-29

SALVATION

Salvation is God’s free gift to us, but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by trusting in Jesus Christ and God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. When we turn from our self-ruled life and turn to Jesus in faith we are saved. Eternal life begins the moment one receives Jesus Christ as Lord of his life. This is evidenced by repentance, confession, baptism by immersion, and a life committed to His service.

John 1:12, 14:6; Romans 5:1, 6:23; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5

ETERNITY

People will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is eternal death in Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is eternal life in Heaven. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence. Mankind’s eternal destination is solely determined by ones acceptance or rejection of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

John 3:16, 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 6:23, 8:17-18; 1 Corinthians 2:7-9; Revelation 20:15

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

March 29, 2015

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

September 13, 2015

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

April 1, 2018

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

June 2, 2019

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

August 18, 2019

CURRENT LOCATION

God has blessed us with a beautiful location big enough for us to continue growing and reaching our community for the Kingdom. Come worship with us at 5900 US-17 in Fleming Island.

Average Attendance: 1200+

HISTORY OF RCC

WHO WE ARE

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.

WHERE WE ARE HEADED

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.

OUR MISSION

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.
