What an amazing and interesting bunch of people we are at RGCF. We have come together from all
backgrounds, churched and unchurched, seeking to share and show the love of God to every one we have the privilege of meeting.
Our gatherings are informal and family friendly, and we welcome all who are looking for the real meaning of life..............
We believe in being an active part of the community of Rockwell Green & Wellington, and many of our members are
involved in projects aiming to improve the conditions of our neighbours in the area.
The church has an international vision through our membership of Barnabas Fellowship of Churches, with particular links
with Southern Africa. Opportunities regularly arise for visits to our Barnabas family in Africa.
Our objectives as a church are summed up in our mission statement ; 'Serving Christ, serving church, serving Community'. The fellowship works closely with the other churches in the town, and the leaders meet together on a regular basis to seek
God and support one another.'
Our leadership is based on the principle of corporate Eldership (currently 3 Elders), supported by others, including Elders
wives, to make up a Core / Vision Team. A wider leadership Team is in place and consists of those who head-up the
various ministries / outreaches in the church. We have one Deacon who forms the link between the practical serving and
the leadership. The 'Pastor' role is taken by one of the Elders, who has the overall pastoral responsibility, plus making community and wider church connections.
As a church we actively support a number of Christian initiatives both locally and nationally, they are described and linked below :-
