Welcome to Real Life Church!
Real Life Church is a little different from many Churches you may have encountered. We are a Church that exists for a purpose, and we know clearly what our purpose is and we are intentionally striving to reach it. That makes us different. We enjoy spending time together and meeting new people, but our central focus is on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe that there´s more to life than meets the eye. There´s something incredible that happens when a person asks Jesus to come into their life. There´s a twinkle in their eye, a smile on their face and a change in their attitude. A love that is supernatural saturates the deepest parts of their heart. We´d like everyone to experience this love. So we invite you to check out our website. I hope what you find here will help you decide to come and see for yourself what Real Life is all about. I look forward to seeing you Sunday.
Pastor Rick
One thing that is constant at Real Life Church is change! We have been purposeful about keeping the environment dynamic at RLC because we don’t want to slip into traditions of our own that would eventually limit our impact in the community around us. Some of the changes we have made have been huge, others more subtle, but they have all been designed to help fulfill our purpose. Some have worked better than others, but we’ll keep doing our best to follow God’s leading and keep it fresh.
This summer we are going to make a medium sort of change. The elders feel that God is preparing us for some huge events that will have a major impact on our community this fall and into next spring. We believe that those events will require us all to be on our best game, and fully rested and prepared. When Jesus was preparing the disciples for greater ministry he said, “Let’s go to a place where we can be alone to rest for a while” (Mark 6:31). So, following that model of resting between major assignments, we are only having one Sunday morning worship service at 10:30am from June 3rd through Sept 2nd. We will resume early worship on Sept 9th.
Some people will likely view this change from two worship times to one as a retreat. A sign that things are not going well. The opposite is true! In fact we’re asking all our core members to consider carpooling or parking several blocks off-site, and walking to help alleviate the parking problems this change will only make worse. We anticipate that the relaxed worship schedule will provide significantly greater opportunities for just hanging out and getting to know one another; (something we already do well). We also have some exciting ideas planned to keep worship fresh and to help everyone grow in faith for this fall, like an outdoor worship event and a church job fair.
We believe God is calling us to a whole new level of excellence this fall, and that can only be achieved when we are all properly rested and renewed. We pray that this summer schedule change will help facilitate each of you experiencing all that God has planned for Real Life Church.
Are you a real man? Come out every Saturday morning at 8:00 am and meet with other real men to pray. This isn’t for wimps. Prayer not only accesses God’s power in our life, but places us in the middle of whatever battle He is ready to fight through us. We are praying for our families, our church, our community, and our nation. If you’re ready for the adventure, then come join us!
