Rochford Community Church

Reaching Out to the Community

      
A GENERAL PRINCIPLE

On the "What We Believe" page you may have seen our Mission Statement:

  

"To create a growing community of God's people that is loving, accepting and caring and which is able to minister God's love, reconciliation and healing with a servant heart, in faith, both within it and to the world outside."

RCC is part of the local community, we live here, and some of us work here, and our concern is for our community. Where we have the opportunity, we want to serve our community in the ways described above.

The following are some of the ways RCC does that:
