My responsibility — jointly with my wife Karen — is to communicate clearly r—c’s vision, for our community and for our members. We seek, through this vision, to paint a picture that produces passion — a passion to help God reach and heal a broken world.
At the heart of this vision is our passionate belief that: the local church is the hope of the world;and that there’s nothing like the local church, when the local church is working well! R-c is not a “social club” just meeting at the church! we are a family, part of God’s wider family, determined to reach this community with His love.

I also take the lead on ‘evangelism’ — sharing with those who need to hear, the good news of God’s love for them. As a church, we want to build relationships with people in our community to show them, by deeds (not just words), just how passionate God is about them and how much He wants to have a relationship with them.
You see, Christianity is not about rules and religion, it’s about a relationship — a personal relationship with a living, loving God … with that comes fullness of life, comes freedom, peace, joy … Whoever you are, whatever you‘ve done, wherever you are now… God wants to do life with you! Will you let him?
