Because you give…

Scot Thomson — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 20:30:08 +0000

When you give of your tithes and offerings a portion goes to the International Mission Board to forward the gospel of Jesus Christ to unreached/unengaged people groups! Please continue to pray for our missionaries, to support their work, and to go when God may call you!

Thank You for Giving! Angolan IDP Camp from International Mission Board on Vimeo.

Sermon Series through Acts

Nick Drake — Sun, 19 Feb 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Our passion is the gospel. Our church is our family. Our world is our mission. Gospel. Family. Mission. – What we are all about as the Richland Baptist Church family.

Next Sunday, January 15, Pastor Nick will begin a new sermon series through the book of Acts. What better place to consider who we are as a church and what we are called to do?! The themes of gospel, family, and mission run throughout Luke’s record of the early church. Will you join us as we study this book together over the next several months?

We will take a break in April – May for a sermon series on what we believe and then jump back into the book of Acts after that.

So, please make plans to join us for this new sermon series during our Sunday morning worship celebration at 10:40. For a lineup of the rest of our regular services and activities, please click HERE.

As always, if you have any questions, needs, and/or prayer requests, please let us know.

The below video is an example of why we give to and support the IMB…

Together for the Gospel

Nick Drake — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 13:00:00 +0000

If you have yet to do so during our Sunday morning worship services, would you consider giving sacrificially to the International Mission Board’s Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. We give so that more missionaries can go, and 100% of gifts given to this offering are used for sending and supporting missionaries serving in some of the most difficult places in the world – places that desperately need the gospel of Jesus Christ.

As always, you can give to this important missions offering by giving in person on Sunday morning, sending your gift to the church office, or giving securely online. Thank you!

Last Sunday, September 6, the Richland Youth participated in our association’s annual “Nightlight Kickball Tournament.” This event allows youth to invite their friends for some friendly competition and a worship service where God is honored and the gospel is preached.

Below are a few picture highlights from the evening.

James and Tammy (front row) and Parker (black mask) did a great job coaching our two teams, who each finished second in their respective brackets with only one loss each. More importantly, the kids had fun, invited friends, and heard the gospel.
