FROM ZACH

I love you, RCC! What a joy it is to be part of this incredible community, bound together by the Savior who blesses us beyond measure. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast,” showing how richly blessed we are to have a church rooted in Christ’s unearned grace and a Savior who offers us this eternal gift. Let’s hold fast to this truth as we grow together in His love. Our summer is off to an amazing, and in ways challenging, start.

I’m excited to announce that Jeana Pierson is stepping into the role of our Nursery Coordinator, bringing her warmth and dedication to our littlest ones. This position title will only serve Jeana for a little while, as on July 28th, she will transition into our full-time Children’s Director, overseeing kids from 5th grade down to birth. Her leadership will shape the next generation of disciples, and I’m confident her heart for ministry will make this a thriving season for our children’s programs.  Stay tuned for more details as we celebrate her new journey with us!  I also want to say, “Thank You,” to two very dear people who have served our church so well:  Andrea VanAuken and Jamie Fleming.  Andrea’s last day on staff was June 22nd.  Andrea, we’re so amazed by the work you’ve done with the Nursery Ministry!  Jamie’s last day with us as staff will be July 27th.  Jamie has been such a blessing to work with and be around. Jamie, we are proud of the growth we’ve seen in you and in our Children’s Ministry.  Thank you both for setting the table so well for Jeana to come in and be successful!
 
This summer has been a season of joy and growth at RCC, and I can’t help but praise God for it! We’ve welcomed five new disciples into the family through baptism and seen two new families place membership with us since June 1st! I also know of at least three more baptisms on the way.  “Life Change,” as we call it, is one of the many pieces of evidence that God’s Spirit is among us and is active.  We thank God for his continued power in presence! I’ve already said several times that summers at RCC are a time of building. While things do slow down a little, we’re very intentional with our time. Let’s leverage this summer to build up one another in the faith, to share the gospel, and to live as bright lights in our communities!

Faithful giving is vital for a growing church body like ours, and it starts with obedience to God’s command in 2 Corinthians 9:7 to give cheerfully. Beyond obedience, our ministry needs it—our giving is currently around $30,000 under budget, which isn’t sustainable for a church on mission to be Disciples Creating Disciples. This shortfall means our foreign and domestic mission partners receive less support for the work God has called them to, and we’re on the verge of making cuts to daily church operations or adjusting our budget plans. I urge you to pray fervently for our giving and to step up in faithful generosity, trusting God to provide as we honor Him with our resources.
 
Even in these challenging financial times, God remains faithful, and as His body at RCC, we will respond with faithfulness too. Together, we’ll navigate this season with hope, leaning on His promises and each other. Let’s keep our eyes on the Savior who blesses us abundantly, ready to see what He will do next in our midst!
 
In Christ,
Zach

Church Family,

Wow. Just wow.

In all my years of ministry, I have never seen a move of God like what we are experiencing right now at Rogers Christian Church. The Lord is doing something *incredible* in our midst—drawing hearts, healing lives, stirring up hunger for His presence, and calling people into the waters of baptism. What a joy it is to witness so many seeking Him with sincerity and boldness! If you’ve been watching closely, you know this is nothing short of a holy moment for our church family.

Every week, I find myself overwhelmed as I look out and hear you—the church—lifting your voices in worship. There is nothing more honoring to Jesus than a congregation that sings not for performance, but from the depths of their soul. I HEAR YOU! What an honor it is to stand on the platform and lead such a passionate, surrendered body of believers. Your voices are a gift to Jesus, and they stir my heart deeply.

To think that I’ve only been here three months… and yet, it feels like I’ve been part of this family my whole life. The way you have embraced me, my wife, and our boys—it’s beyond anything we could’ve hoped or imagined. We still pinch ourselves to make sure this is all real. Thank you for loving us the way that you do.

I’m incredibly grateful—not just for what God is doing right now, but for what He’s preparing us for. I truly believe this is just the beginning of something powerful at Rogers Christian Church. Let’s keep pressing in. Let’s keep worshiping. Let’s keep lifting our voices and our hearts to the One who is worthy.

I love you all deeply.

With joy,
Keith Torres

Iglesia Cristiana

Amada iglesia RCC:

Con profundo gozo y gratitud, me dirijo a ustedes para reflexionar juntos sobre este hermoso mes de junio que hemos vivido como familia espiritual. Al mirar atrás, solo puedo decir: ¡Dios ha sido fiel!

Este mes hemos experimentado cómo cada día es una nueva oportunidad para crecer y superar nuestros límites. No importa cuán difícil sea el camino, tu esfuerzo y determinación te llevarán lejos. Aun en los momentos de desafío, es donde se forjan los verdaderos guerreros de fe. Recordemos siempre: la fe en ti mismo y en Dios es el primer paso hacia el éxito. Como dice la Escritura:

Jehová, hasta los cielos llega tu misericordia, y tu fidelidad hasta las nubes. – Salmo 36:5

Durante junio, RCC ha estado muy activa en su llamado a ser luz en la comunidad. Quiero resaltar con alegría algunas de las bendiciones que vivimos juntos:

Devocionales diarios a las 6:00 a.m. – Cada mañana, llegamos a corazones que fueron animados a través de nuestras redes sociales. Desafiamos juntos el alma para comenzar el día con propósito y palabra viva.

Estudios especiales para damas y varones – Nos enfocamos en forjar carácter cristiano, motivando a buscar la santidad y a reflejar a Cristo en nuestras familias y comunidad.

Evento “Alza tu Bandera” – Tuvimos la hermosa oportunidad de salir al bosque y pasar un tiempo especial con la Palabra de Dios. Fue un momento de renovación espiritual, unidad y refrigerio.

Ministerio “Dulce Bendición” – Llevamos palabras de aliento y una nota de bendición a personas en la calle. Sembramos amor y esperanza de parte de RCC en lugares donde muchos no llegan.

Convivio del 25 de junio – Jugar voleyball, reír juntos y compartir la Palabra de Dios fue una muestra viva de que la iglesia también es comunidad, alegría y familia.

Participación en CIY con los jóvenes – Agradezco a Isaac y al ministerio de jóvenes por invitarme a servir en un evento que reunió a más de 1,600 jóvenes adorando a Dios. Fue impactante ver una generación que se levanta con pasión por Cristo.

Celebración personal – Este mes también tuve la bendición de cumplir 49 años. Una frase poderosa que marcó mi corazón en este tiempo fue:
No es suficiente, ¡pero va a sobrar!
Porque cuando Dios está presente, Su provisión siempre supera nuestras expectativas.

RCC, sigamos adelante con esta visión: ser comunidad, apoyarnos unos a otros y caminar con fe firme. La iglesia no es un edificio, ¡somos nosotros cuando nos unimos en amor, servicio y misión!

Te animo a que no te detengas. Las adversidades son solo escalones hacia los sueños de Dios para tu vida. Levántate cada día con esta convicción: “Dios es fiel, y si Él va conmigo, no hay límite para lo que puedo alcanzar.”

Con amor pastoral,
Pr. Arturo Mejía

¡Juntos somos familia, y juntos reflejamos a Cristo!
Dear RCC Church:

With deep joy and gratitude, I write to you to reflect together on this beautiful month of June that we have lived as a spiritual family. Looking back, I can only say: God has been faithful!

This month we have experienced how each day is a new opportunity to grow and overcome our limits. No matter how difficult the road may be, your effort and determination will take you far. Even in challenging times, true warriors of faith are forged. Let us always remember: faith in God is the first step toward success. As Scripture says:

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. – Psalm 36:5

During June, RCC has been very active in its calling to be a light in the community. With joy, I want to highlight some of the blessings we experienced together:

Daily Devotionals at 6:00 a.m. – Each morning, we reached hearts that were encouraged through our social media platforms. Together, we challenged our souls to begin the day with purpose and the living Word.

Special Bible studies for women and men – We focused on building Christian character, motivating each other to seek holiness and reflect Christ in our families and communities.

“Raise Your Banner” Event – We had the beautiful opportunity to go into the forest and spend a special time with the Word of God. It was a moment of spiritual renewal, unity, and refreshment.

“Sweet Blessing” Ministry – We took words of encouragement and a note of blessing to people on the street. We sowed love and hope on behalf of RCC in places where many don’t go.

June 25 Fellowship Day – Playing volleyball, laughing together, and sharing God’s Word was a living demonstration that the church is also a community, a source of joy, and family.

CIY Youth Event Participation – I’m thankful to Isaac and the youth ministry for inviting me to serve at an event that brought together over 1,600 young people worshiping God. It was powerful to see a generation rising up with passion for Christ.

Personal Celebration – This month, I was also blessed to celebrate my 49th birthday. A powerful phrase that touched my heart during this season was:
“It’s not enough… but it’s going to overflow!”
Because when God is present, His provision always exceeds expectations.

RCC, let’s move forward with this vision: to be a community, support one another, and walk in firm faith. The church is not a building—we are the church when we unite in love, service, and mission!

I encourage you: don’t stop. Adversities are just stepping stones on the path to God’s dreams for your life. Get up each day with this conviction:
God is faithful, and if He goes with me, there is no limit to what I can achieve.

With pastoral love,
Pr. Arturo Mejía

Together we are family, and together we reflect Christ!

I am incredibly honored and excited to step into the role of Nursery Coordinator here at RCC. It is such a joy to come alongside your families and partner with you in planting seeds of faith in our youngest hearts. I believe that the nursery is more than just a place for childcare, it’s a sacred space where even the smallest ones can begin to experience the love of Jesus. I’m looking forward to building relationships with each of you, encouraging our volunteers, and continuing to create an environment where both children and parents feel seen, supported, and spiritually nurtured. I can’t wait to see all that God will do in and through this ministry as we serve together!

Blessings,
Jeana Pierson

A Note From Andrea:
As June comes to a close, I want to take a minute to express my appreciation to all of the nursery volunteers, childcare workers, and nursery parents that I have had the chance to get to know and work with on a weekly basis over the past year and a half as the RCC Nursery Coordinator. I have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you and play a pivotal role in helping your children learn about Jesus. As I step into a volunteer position, I look forward to continuing to see each of you and your kids regularly and to continue watching them grow. If you haven’t heard, a well-loved member of our church will be stepping in and taking my place. I know that Jeana will be a beautiful beacon of Christ’s love to you and your kids.

Much love,
Andrea VanAuken
