Becoming a Fully Devoted Follower
of Jesus Christ
The purpose of RMC is to honor God by leading people to become fully devoted
followers of Jesus Christ. We know that because of the sinful nature of
people, we will never live a life perfectly honoring God or being fully devoted
to Jesus. Even so, we want people to strive with their entire being to fulfill
this purpose. As a way to help people direct their lives toward this end,
RMC encourages people to WIN and to complete the Classes which help us have a
great commitment to the Great Commandment and Great Commission. We believe
these encouragements will best help people fulfill this purpose in their lives.
5 Purposes for Every Christian
God has five basic purposes for every Christian and
every church family:
- Worship - We show love to God
when we worshiping Him. This is at the heart of all we do. We worship
God when we fulfill the purposes for which he created us.
- Sharing - We tell people about Jesus and about how our faith
in Jesus has blessed our lives. We want to bring people to feet of Jesus
and encourage them to put their faith and trust in Him.
- Fellowship - We need genuine fellowship with our church family.
The church family provides close relationships where we learn how to love real
people, not ideal people.
- Serving - We demonstrate our love for others by serving them,
as Jesus served when He lived one earth. God created each of us with a unique
shape for service and a ministry to others. We want to help people find
their shape for ministry and serve in a place where they are fruitful and fulfilled.
Our servant's heart also leads us to serve where we are needed, even if we do
not believe we are shaped to do so.
- Growing - We will learn as much as we can about God's Word
(The Bible) so we can obey His commands, glorifying God and enjoying Him forever.
WIN - Tips we offer our church family to help keep life in balance...
W - Worship and Work - Attend weekly worship gatherings and
work in a ministry to serve the the RMC family
I - Invest and Invite - Invest your time and attention
in people who do not have a church family and invite them to attend RMC, and to
hear about how Jesus has changed your life.
N - Nurture your life - Nurture your life by having a daily
quiet time with God and being an active part of a small group of friends where
you can experience the Christian life together.
