Our Mission - Love, Mend, Train, Send

Written by Alex Ohlsen

Thursday, 28 January 2010 22:02

To LOVE and accept you just the way you are, right where you are. There is no pressure to “perform” or to earn our approval. God’s love, and ours, is unconditional.

To MEND you and help you to recover from the hurts, wounds, and imbalances that have occurred in the way you think, feel, and behave. God’s ultimate desire is to help you be restored to your spectacular original design!

To TRAIN you to become all that you were meant to be, by offering you ways to experience significance through serving and giving away the grace of God as you receive it.

To SEND and release you into the particular course of life and ministry direction God has chosen for you, so that you are able to actually fulfill the purposes for which you have been created.

About RCC

Renton Christian Center was planted in 1982 in the Fairwood area by Alexand Pam Ohlsen and has grown from a team of 9 people to our current size of around 300 attending on Sunday mornings. As part of the Foursquare denomination, we have a commitment to letting God’s word, the Bible, be our primary source of instruction, as well as sharing the good news of Jesus with everyone we can. Like most Christian denominations, our affiliation with Foursquare provides a clear set of guidelines for doctrine and practice (you can learn more about Foursquare by clicking here). But our greatest appreciation for the larger family is the relationships, the accountability, and the support we receive from our leaders and fellow pastors. We love their humility, down-to-earth spirituality, and their genuine care for our local church. After all, Christianity is, in its essence, not an organization, but a family!
