RBC Family ministries are focused on caring, sharing, involvement, and wellness of our RBC Families. Here are a few ways why we say at RBC, that "Family really matters".  RBC sponsors a Family Life Ministry, a Deacon Family Care Ministry, and a Family Share Ministry. 

Family Life Ministry - comprised of several functioning ministries that focus on family wellness.  Specifically, they are:  We Care, Celebrate Recovery, and RBC LIFe (Life Issues Facilitator).   The following is a brief description of the Family Life Ministry.  

We Care Ministry – offered to military and civilian members and their families that are deployed in combat zones.  Our ministry programs provide mentorship, tutoring, encouragement, online bible study, and monthly fellowship designed to:

• enrich and strengthen members and families love for one another
• equip members and families to maintain a supportive and encouraging relationship
• permit other RBC members to join the Adopt-A-Family Program
• assist in facilitating an effective and fulfilling transition of reunited families.

Go to "We Care" for more detailed information.

Celebrate Recovery Ministry – offered to individuals and families encountering emotional disorders like depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, anger, grief, or abuse of substances, emotional, physical, or sexual, etc.  Celebrate Recovery is not a counseling program; it is a recovery ministry based on the application of biblical principles. 

• Grief Share Workshop – a forum offered each quarter to persons in need of dealing with the emotional impact of a personal loss.  Placements in this workshop are limited to six per quarterly session.   
• Abuse Awareness and Management Seminar – not yet available, will be offered soon to educate individuals on the characteristics of abuse (substance, emotional, physical, and sexual) and how to effectively manage them.

Go to "Celebrate Recovery" for more detailed information.

RBC LIFe Ministry – offered to individuals, pre-marital couples, and married couples to provide emotional support according to the Word of God.   All RBC facilitators are certified and experienced in providing qualified care to:

• deepen client’s spiritual relationship with Christ

Deacon Family Care Ministry - comprised of dedicated Deacons committed to sensitive and responsive service to RBC families.  RBC Deacons ensure that every RBC member's emotional, physical, and most of importantly spiritual needs are being met.

Family Share Ministry - As an RBC member, there are many ways you can permit others at RBC to share your family.  For example, you can:

• share your military and civilian family members deployed in combat zones.  Your RBC Family will be honored to include them in their family prayers and will even correspond with them, if they desire.  Send  names to "We Care Ministry".

• share your family members that are students in college..click here.  We know how lonely it can sometimes be when our new college students leave home for the first time.  Let your RBC family share the load with you by praying, communicating, and just letting your new student know that they are missed and thought about everyday.

• share your family needs by letting us join you in prayer.  Click here to submit a prayer request.

• share your family changes - update your family profiles when your family size, residence, or contact information changes.  Click here to update your membership profile.

In the coming months, RBC Family members will be able to use a Bulletin Board or blog to share other interesting information ranging from posting family recipes to sharing amusing family stories. 

We are working on these and other capabilities, so please check back soon.
