About Us
We Want to See God Move In Our Community
Together we are a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.
We strive to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Most churches find it is comfortable to stay within the walls, but we make it an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Our History
- RLCC began worshipping on the first Sunday in June, 1977 in a small house
- RLCC was very blessed to have help from Mount Carmel (GA) Church builders in erecting the first church building.
- RLCC quickly outgrew that sanctuary space and it was expanded a year later in 1979.
- RLCC has continued to be blessed by expanding their staff and buildings to meet our congregation and community’s growing needs.
- In 2019, we completed a expansion of our education building and remodel of the auditorium to accommodate our growing ministries.
