Attending class in no way obligates you to join. We will explain the basic beliefs and background of the Reformed Church in America and answer any questions regarding our worship, ministry, or doctrine. Childcare available if needed. Registration required. Please contact the office (
connect@rockfordrc.org, 616-866-2308) if you would like to participate. Dates/times will be posted soon!

May 13 - June 17. RRC is once again partnering with
Alpha Family Center of Cedar Springs to raise money for their organization. Alpha Family Center is a Christ-centered ministry that serves women and families who face an unwanted, unplanned, or at-risk pregnancy. By educating women who face a crisis pregnancy, women and their families are able to make informed decisions. To participate in the Baby Bottle Blessings fundraiser, please pray for the center, take home an empty baby bottle, and fill it with your spare change, dollar bills, or checks (made out to Alpha Family Center).
Bottles are available in the lobby and in the back of the sanctuary. Please return them by Father's Day, June 17. We will return them to Alpha Family Center for you. This is a great opportunity to teach our children about sharing God's love while making a difference in the community!
