NEW YEAR, NEW FOCUS

Big changes have taken place in the leadership structure at RFBC. We are currently transitioning to our 'CHURCH LEADERS' format which is divided into four major headings... MISSIONS, OUTREACH, CONNECTIONS and DISCIPLESHIP. These divisions are being designed to connect our church family with our church's mission which is "Bringing In, Lifting Up And Sending Out To Impact Our World". The first two deal with our ministry to those outside our church walls and the last two deal with our ministry to those inside our church walls.

Liz Jones is leading this effort and her goal is to have some type of local missions project for members of our church family to take part in each month.

Stephen Jones will be helping us look for ways to get our church family out into the community to show God's love and be visible in our neighborhoods. 

'CONNECTIONS' will build the relationships within our church family by focusing on various grouping such as...

• CHILDREN -- to be announced
• YOUTH -- STEPHEN AND LIZ JONES
• HIGH SCHOOL GRADS AND SINGLES  -- to be announced
• ADULTS -- DEAN PARRISH
• SENIOR ADULTS-- RHONDA NICHOLS
• MEN -- PAUL GREENWELL
• WOMEN -- BEVERLY PARRISH
• CHURCH AS A WHOLE -- TONY AND BUBBLES SIDEBOTTOM

'DISCIPLESHIP' will develop the level of spiritual maturity in our church family as we grow from one level to the next. A great resource to read is "The Trellis And The Vine" by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne. 

In the weeks ahead, you will hear more about each section and discover how you can get plugged in.
