RLC YOUTHeransOur Philosophy: Youth are not just the future of the church; they are an important part of the church today. Youth are active in all aspects of life at RLC: from worship, to leadership and volunteering, to living out their faith at home and school with family and friends. We have specific ministries for youth at different ages, but we also regularly have opportunities for cross-generational learning and serving. We believe youth have much to share about who God is and what it looks like to follow Christ.
