Children
LRC Childern's Program: Guiding hearts towards Christ through Biblical training and character development. We offer child care during the 10:30 Sunday morning service. School age children receive weekly Sunday morning instruction and various activity opportunities. Bible Camps are offered throughout the school year and in the Summer.
Our children’s ministries philosophy is based on a sense of community; families helping one another by partnering together to guide our children to live as Christians in today’s diverse culture.

Young Adults
A group of young adults gather together every Saturday night, facilitated by leaders who disciple young adults to walk in health and wholeness. As their soul prospers, so their health will prosper. So they may walk in supernatural peace and abundance in Christ according to His purpose for their lives. The structure of the night is fellowship, worship, prayer, and going deep into the word of God being transformed into who He called us to be.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”
Families
We have many events and activities for families to all participate in together. During the summertime, we gather every few weeks after service in the church pavilion for a big picnic for fellowship and games. There is also a summer camping weekend for families, amoung many other things.
Men
Having worked in a men's prison for many years, I can see how important the need for relationship really is. There are healthy relationships and relationships that destroy. As men we need to support and uphold one another and develop relationships that go deep; deeper than sports, cars, activities, etc. that is just "surface stuff". Deep down inside, we all have the same desire for acceptance, friendship and comradery with fellow man. Unfortunately, we don't always take the time to realize that we're not all that different from one another and have these same desires. Men need a purpose and a passion to reunite again. At this time I would like to encourage each man to re-evaluate who he is in Christ and what gifts he possesses that can be passed on to another brother.
In His Service,
Brother Phil
Women
ABIDING JOY WOMEN’S MINISTRIES - Offering Encouragement and hope to women of all ages. Extending God’s grace to women by equipping them through fellowship and prayer groups, bible studies, creative expression, outreach opportunities, group activities, and one to one mentoring and discipleship.
Dance
Our first and ultimate purpose is to fulfill the Great Commandment (Luke 10:27); to love and worship the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength through life, dance, and the arts. We want to be a blessing to our dancers who wish to develop their character as well as their dance technique. We are dedicated to providing a loving, encouraging, Christ-centered environment while training dancers to express their joy in dance to the world. Each student is encouraged to strive for their personal best in a non-competitive, accepting environment.
