Outside These Walls

Nick Drake — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 00:30:00 +0000

One thing we talk about often is how we want to be the church outside the walls of our church building. To truly be the church, we have to live our lives on mission and walk in faithfulness to the Word of God throughout each day. We have much to pray for and consider with all that is happening in the world right now, so here are a couple of resources to help with that.

Hard to Reach

Nick Drake — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 13:00:00 +0000

This is the time of year we are emphasizing the International Mission Board for our missions giving, prayer, and partnership. Will you pray for the IMB and give sacrificially so that more people can hear and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ?

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

Staying Connected

Nick Drake — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 12:00:00 +0000

Please be sure to stay connected and engaged with our church family via the free MyRichland App and via our YouTube channel.

The MyRichland App is a great way to stay connected, as you can send prayer requests, fill out a connection card, watch videos, listen to sermons, give of your tithes and offerings, and much more.

Also, since the current pandemic began, we have been uploading regular video devotions, testimonies, and updates to our YouTube channel a few times each week. Here is the playlist of all our videos added since March…

As always, if you have any questions, concerns, and/or prayer requests, please let us know. Hope to see you Sunday morning at 10:40 for our outdoor worship celebration!

Ask the Pastor & Something New

Nick Drake — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 13:15:14 +0000

Each Wednesday evening, our church has activities for all ages, including supper at 5:45 and prayer meeting and Bible study for adults. Last Wednesday, we finished (for the time-being) Ask the Pastor during our adults’ Bible study time.

Do you have questions about the Bible, faith, church, family, ministry, etc. that you would like to ask Pastor Nick? If so, let us know HERE, as we will resume Ask the Pastor at a later date.

Starting this Wednesday, though, we will be discussing the “Fear of Man.” What does it mean to fear man, and how can we live our lives fearing God, rather than being consumed with a fear of what others might think about us?
