The sad truth of youth ministry is that when most students graduate from high school they graduate from their faith. Here at RCC we want a student's faith not to be based on a service they attend or an adult who leads them but on a relationship with Christ. It is our desire that all students cultivate these H.A.B.I.T.S. that will help them grow in their faith on thier own.

We want to do what ever it takes to help you grow in your faith, and to give you the tools you need to develop the H.A.B.I.T.S. of a committed Christian. Check out these tools to help you do just that:

Hang Time w/ God: Quiet Time Journal
The quiet time journal is really nothing more than a short space to write, a little design, and a few questions. We've put all of this on a half-sheet piece of paper, so your don't need to fill up an entire page every time they write in your journal. We only put thirty pages in each journal so you can replace his journal several times throughout the year.

Accountability with another Believer: Small Group
Small Groups are an essential part of spiritual devolpment. The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. That is why God gave us the church we need each other. That is why we offer small groups for student to connected with other students and a loving adult to share thier life with.

Bible Memorization: Hidden Treasures
This is our verse memorization program that help you hide God's Word in their heart. A committed Christian needs to rely on God’s Word. We've put together a packet of cards to help them memorize scripture. Once they get through the first five verses we give them another five and cheer them on.

Thankful Giving: Bank of Blessings
Although it may be surprising, if students can get excited about giving their money while they're young, we believe their young life will be blessed. While the idea of getting excited about giving may seem strange, students come to find that many Christians view giving money to the Lord as their privilege. Through the Bank of Blessings tool, students learn what the Bible teaches about giving and are challenged to experience giving firsthand.

Study Scripture Deeply: RootWorks
RootWorks is the name for our individual Bible study books. We have put together some studies that will take students verse by verse through various New Testament books. One of the disciplines of a committed Christian is the ability to study on their own--RootWorks will help them do this.
