What to expect...
We would love to have you join us for our Sunday Worship Service! Below is some information we think would be helpful for you to know before you arrive.
Where?
Our meeting address is 2436 Croton Rd in Melbourne. We currently rent the facility from Kol Mashiach, a Messianic Jewish congregation, but you can be looking for our Risen Life flag signs out front. Our facility is located on the intersection of Croton and Lake Washington. See the map below, or use the button for directions.
When?
Our Sunday service is at 10:00 AM (although our folks love lingering and fellowshipping in the lobby, so we usually end up starting 5-7 minutes late). We generally end by 11:45 AM so our families can have their kids picked up from class before noon. Our gathering begins with a time of singing together, followed by a break for our kids’ dismissal to their classes, and then a 45-50 minute sermon.
Music
At RLC, expect to sing both contemporary worship songs and traditional hymns. Our song diet includes a variety of styles as we strive to select theologically solid songs that are Christ-exalting, richly based in Scripture, and accessible for all to sing. We believe that songs teach, and we want the "Word of Christ to dwell in us richly" as we gather to admonish one another through singing (Colossians 3:16).
Preaching
God’s Word is the most important aspect of our corporate worship, so you can expect it to be central in each part of our Sunday mornings. Our preaching is largely expository, allowing us to study books of the Bible in-depth. On occasion, we may do a short topical series, but either way, expect preaching that is straight from Scripture and, therefore, relevant to your life.
Have Kids?
At RLC, we strive to provide a safe and fun environment for your kids. Countdown Kids, our children’s ministry, is currently for children ages 1 to 9. Every 3rd Sunday, we also have a class for ages 10-12. Moms with infants can participate in the service from the comfort of our Infant Care Room just off the lobby. Our kids ministry curriculum teaches Bible stories to our little ones at age-appropriate levels - but never without showing how they all point to Jesus himself.
Fellowship
Expect to find a church that causes you to seriously consider staying and joining our fellowship because of the warmth and hospitality that greets you at the door. Our church is marked by genuine care toward others because Christ has been exalted among the people of RLC and His word continues to be upheld as the rule for our lives. Our men's and women's ministries, small groups and other events allow us to connect throughout the week and grow together. We look forward to welcoming you!
