Are you committed to growing in your Christian faith? We believe church involvement is key to the discipleship process and would like to encourage you to consider if there are things you can/should do for the sake of your and others’ discipleship journey. Below are the main ways in which you can get involved with Richland. One thing that is not mentioned below, though, because it is not a regular activity at our church facilities is being a part of a Discipleship Accountability Group (DAG).

DAGs are typically 3-5 people and meet once/week for one hour. Some meet in homes, some meet at coffee shops, and meeting in the church facilities is also an option. Regardless of where you choose to meet, DAGs are as their title suggests – all about consistency in Christian discipleship and accountability. Men meet with other men, and women meet with other women. If you are interested in starting or being involved with a DAG, please contact Pastor Nick.

In the meantime, here is our regular weekly schedule…

Sundays:

9:30 a.m. – Family Groups 
–Family groups are Bible study fellowships for all ages – children, youth and adults. Nursery is included for infants and toddlers, too. We consider family groups to be an essential ministry for discipleship and relationships.

10:40 a.m. – Morning Worship Service
–Morning worship is an essential time of growing in God’s Word together. It’s that time of the week when most of our church family is all together for the purpose of worshiping our Lord and building up His body. For those who are interested, we also provide nursery (toddlers and infants) and children’s ministry (kindergarten and below) during our morning worship services.

6:00 p.m. – Life on Mission
–Life on Mission is our Sunday evening worship service with discussion on how we can apply what we’re learning on Sundays to our daily lives and understand how to better live our lives on mission for God.

Wednesdays:

5:45 p.m. – Evening Meal (except during the months of June, July & August)
–Our Wednesday evening meal is a great time of fellowship and encouragement. Everyone is invited to join us for great food and fun together. Please note, though, that the evening meal is not held during the summer months.

6:30 p.m. – Prayer and Bible Study / TeamKID / Youth Group
–With ministries for all ages (both children and adults), Wednesday evenings provide a great recharge for the middle of the week. The adults’ prayer meeting and Bible study (6:30-7:30) and our youth group (6:30-7:30) meet year-round, while TeamKID (all children who are elementary-aged and below) meets only during the school year (September – May).

For more information, please contact us.

Please make plans to join us this Sunday, February 5^th in the fellowship hall for a church family and friends Super Bowl party. We will have a carry-in supper at 5:00 p.m., as well as some powerful testimonies during half-time. Spread the word and invite others!

Whether you are looking forward to watching the game on the big screen, or you’re really just interested in great food and fellowship, we’d love to have you.

For various reasons, it has been a while since we’ve done this. On Sunday (January 29th), though, we will have our regular fifth-Sunday carry-in lunch. Hope you can join us after our morning worship service for this great time of food, fellowship and encouragement!

During our annual New Life Celebration Sunday evening, five of those in our Richland family who were baptized in 2016 shared their testimonies of how God led them to Himself, how He has changed them, and how He continues to work in their lives. It was an exciting time of worship, followed by a great fellowship reception with cake and ice cream.

During our morning worship service, two long-time members of Richland shared their testimonies of God at work in their lives. Elaine Wilson shared of the influence family had on her church life and her relationship with the Lord, and Sherri Anderton shared about how she came to saving faith in Christ and how that has impacted her life since then.

Please make plans to join us January 22nd at 6 p.m. It’s that annual time when we gather to celebrate those who surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ and were baptized this past year. We will celebrate new life with worship, testimonies and prayer for more new life in the coming year. “We were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life” (Romans 6:4).

The time of celebration will be followed by a cake-and-ice-cream reception. Please join us, and invite your family, friends, neighbors and others, too!

Everyone is welcome. Let us celebrate the new life that is found in Christ alone!

Unfortunately, our services are canceled for today – Sunday, January 15. Stay home, stay safe, and enjoy some worship with your family this morning. Hope to see you Wednesday evening!

It’s 2017! As you consider some resolutions you might be making for this new year, we would like to challenge and encourage you to resolve to depend on the Lord for an amazing renewal in your relationship with Him. Seek Him; call out to Him; trust Him; serve Him. Because a strong relationship with Jesus requires a healthy and active relationship with a local church, we want to encourage you to consider your church involvement.

Below is our regular weekly schedule of activities for all ages. As a Christian, it is vital that you are being fed, feeding/serving others, and living out your faith on mission. Please consider how you might accomplish these things in and through your involvement with your church family.
