Rising To The Challenge
The Purpose of Rising To The Challenge
The ultimate purpose of Rising To The Challenge is to equip River Run Christian Church to continue reaching unchurched people in our community in the most effective way possible. This is not just a building program, nor is it just an attempt to raise money. This entire effort is about winning people to Jesus Christ… Connect Communities to Christ and One Another. It is about touching lives and families with the power of God to make a difference for all eternity.
Now is the Time to Begin Rising To The Challenge
This graph visually demonstrates where God is taking us. Since 1999, our Seminole Campus attendance has grown from 200 to more than 1,000. In that same time, our staff has grown from 4 to 15, our children’s and youth programs have experienced tremendous growth, and our average weekly offerings have increased from $2,500 in 1999 to more than $27,000 in 2007. The numbers don’t tell the entire story, but just as normal temperature and blood pressure readings imply physical health, these statistics indicate spiritual vitality and a future filled with God’s blessing to make us all want to continue Rising To The Challenge
Upcoming Events / Special Dates
