RVCC is committed to helping strengthen your spiritual walk, building a
strong sense of community among the flock, and making a significant,
meaningful impact in Newaygo County. .. Knowing, Growing, Going (click) is
our mission. The local church is not about religion, it's about relationships-
with Christ, with other believers, and with an unsaved world. As part of the
RVCC family, we urge you to get involved in a small group, or the special
activities that are planned; it will make a difference in your life, your family,
and your relationships. We always welcome your ideas and feedback... click here

**Special Thanks!!
-Missions Weekend with Tom & Diane Tehan (Thailand), went
great. Saturday night we had a potluck with traditional Asian
dishes prepared by people from the congregation. The teens
also spent much of Saturday afternoon preparing dishes in the
kitchen. Very creative idea. Between Asian dishes, many
wearing traditional Asian wardrobe, and a great presentation by
Tom and Diane- we gained a little better understand of
ministering in the Thai culture. Thanks to all that worked hard a
making this weekend a success. And a special thanks to Ken
M. for all the planning, oversight, and logistics.

-New sign What a great statement it makes of RVCC. The
weathered cross and heart speaks volumes as to our desired
ministry influence to families here and within our community.

-Deacon projects the deacons have many plans for improving
the exterior appearance & presentation of our facility. Although
we aren't building 'monuments' to men, a reality is the
appearance of RVCC says a lot about us to our community,
and speaks loudly as to our stewardship of what God has
entrusted to us. So contact a Deacon (click) or keep an eye out
for upcoming opportunities to help.
