FROM ZACH

At RCC, we believe that spiritual growth flourishes in community, as Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us: “Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.” Our C-Groups, launching as part of Wednesday Nights @ RCC on August 20th, are designed to foster this connection for adults. These small groups provide a space to dive deeper into God’s Word, share life’s joys and challenges, and build lasting relationships. Whether you’re exploring faith or seeking to grow, C-Groups offer a welcoming environment to experience the transformative power of community.  We’re excited to offer 16 different C-Groups this fall!  A quick rundown from my perspective for each group:

Tuesday Groups @ 6:30pm
Our Men’s Group meets on campus and is led by men who are passionate about discipling other men.  The men usually share a meal together, have a general discussion and then break out into a number of smaller groups.  Any dude is welcome, and will benefit from this environment!

We have two Young Adult Groups that also meet on campus Tuesday evenings.  Two of our recent high school graduates, Marco and Shae are leading a new group for younger young adults.  I know that sounds a little funny, but our established Young Adult Group is full of 20 somethings, many of whom are married and have children.  Shae and Marco want to create a landing spot for recent high school grads, and maybe a spot where singles can gather.  Since the group is new and open to pretty much anyone, we’ll see where it lands.  One of RCC’s elders, Preston Pierson, is leading the other Young Adult C-Group. As I said earlier, this group is full of adults in their 20’s, most of which are married and some with children.  God has blessed us with growth in the young adult population (18-25yrs), and we’ve had a generous member of our congregation donate funds to create a Young Adult Ministry!  So while these two groups will meet separately, they will also combine at times as well and create events to foster fellowship and unity among our young adults.

Wednesday @ 10am Group
Bob Brown is leading his C-Group through the book of Colossians on campus.  Bob’s been leading this group faithfully for years, and while the participants tend to be a little bit older, anyone is welcome to be a part of this awesome group!

Wednesday @ 6:30pm
The group I lead is for married couples, and it’s a commitment group.  We ask any couple that signs up to commit to attend weekly.  If you can’t make that commitment, we understand.  However, we feel that the best way to disciple and foster fellowship is to make that commitment.  We also cap our group at six couples.  We currently have four couples already committed.  Our group alternates between doing a Bible Study one Wednesday and then going to a restaurant the next week.  We call this, “meet one, eat one.”

Heather Fyffe is leading her C-Group through studies that deal with mental health.  Her opening study is called “A Mentally Healthy Faith.”  At a time when so many people struggle with mental health, I’m grateful that we have this offering.  You don’t have to be struggling with mental health to be a part of this group, to be clear.  If mental health is a topic of concern or curiosity, especially through the eyes of faith, you’ll find a home in Heather’s group.
 
Believe it or not, we have a C-Group that has called themselves “The Island of Misfit Toys.”  It’s in jest, of course.  The group is very eclectic, but of all of our groups, this may be the one that loves and supports one another the best.  Krista Howard leads this group, and they usually have food.  They always have great discussion, biblical teaching and powerful fellowship.  Krista wanted me to let you know that it’s BYOD (drinks) as well!

Ladies, if you’re looking for a deep study group, Tamara Huddleston is the leader for you!  Tamara is one of the people in the church that humbles me because of her biblical knowledge.  She is a loving and effective teacher, and has discipled well.  Don’t be misled by my first sentence about this group; this group is for any lady that desires fellowship and teaching.  Even if you wouldn’t call yourself mature or deep in your biblical knowledge, this group is probably a good option to help you mature and increase your knowledge of Scripture.  They’re starting the year in the book of Genesis.  You definitely want to check this out!
 
As of very recently, RCC is starting a couple’s ministry!  You’ll get to hear more about this in the very near future, but Dale and Elisha Lee are spearheading this ministry along with Dennis and Lacey Thurman.  As a part of that vision, Dale is going to lead a couple’s C-Group.  This group already has a number of couples committed to the group, but there’s room for more.  Their opening study is titled “The Bait of Satan.”  Married couples should definitely consider joining Dale’s Group!

Josh and Christina Meister host another married couple’s group!  They’ll be continuing on in a study from the book of Titus (which is one of my favorites!). This group operates almost exactly like my group, using a “meet one, eat one” style.  Josh is a great C-Group leader, and they have a lovely home.  If you’re looking for a group to fulfill not only discipleship but also social needs, the Meister's have a spot for you!
 
RCC’s Comunidad Cristiana Pastor, Arturo Mejia, invites all of our Spanish-speaking men and women to be a part of his Wednesday night C-Group.  This year, Arturo is having everyone together and then breaking out to a men’s group and a women’s group for further discussion.  This is a great group of people living life together, growing closer to Christ and each other through Arturo’s effective teaching and leadership.

Our Prime Timer’s C-Group is lead by Rick Pierson.  Rick is a retired pastor, a regular speaker on Sunday mornings at RCC, and just an overall good dude. This group shares a potluck style meal each Wednesday evening.  While most of the participants are a little on the older side, they welcome anyone.  I often tell younger people considering a C-Group that they should think long and hard about joining the Prime Timer’s group because they’ll be treated like grandchildren, and we all know how that goes!
 
One of RCC’s best communicators, Tony Streck, will be leading a C-Group again this year.  Tony’s group is open to anyone, regardless of age, biblical knowledge, etc.  Tony is a graduate from Ozark Christian College, and has much to offer in the area of teaching.  One of my favorite Men’s Breakfast each year is the one that Tony speaks at!  He has a creative mind, wit, and biblical knowledge.  Tony’s one of my favorite guys in the church.  You’ll be blessed if you join his group!

I was delighted when our Worship Pastor, Keith Torres, told me that he wanted to lead a C-Group this year!  I got to know Keith very well as he was a part of our group for the final few months last year.  You all know that Keith has visible energy and passion.  I can tell you that it’s not just on the platform.  Keith is a skilled communicator, and has a loving energy that is hard to explain.  Keith’s group is for anyone, and they plan to meet on campus at the church office.
 
To wind things down with C-Groups, our Comunidad Cristiana ministry also offers three C-Groups every other Friday night.  These groups are built for the entire family!  One meets at Arturo and Gladys’ home.  One at Miguel and Adelita Fregoso’s home, and one at Dante and Mercy Soriano’s home.  If you speak Spanish and would love to be discipled and to connect with other families, these groups are perfect for you!  All groups will be studying through curriculum titled “Effective Discipleship.”  If you need help figuring out which group is closest to you, reach out to Arturo in the church office.

Wednesday Nights @ RCC is more than just C-Groups—it’s a ministry for all ages.  Psalm 145:4, where “one generation commends your works to another.” Families can join us starting August 20th with nursery care for our youngest, Campground Kids for children four years old through fifth grade, and Oasis for sixth through 12th grade students.  Wednesday Nights @ RCC ensures that everyone has a place to grow in faith. Each program is crafted to nurture spiritual development in age-appropriate ways, creating opportunities for every family member to encounter God’s love within biblical community. By participating, you’re not just joining a program, you’re becoming part of a vibrant, intergenerational community that strengthens our church family.

We’re excited to open sign-ups for C-Groups starting August 3rd! Don’t miss this chance to connect, grow, and serve together. You can sign-up before or after services, or visit our website to register.  If you need a little more help picking out a group, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me as I’ll be glad to help you decide.
 
Acts 2:42 shows us how the early church “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” It wasn’t just right for them back then; it’s been a critical component of the success of Christ’s church ever since.  Join us in living out this vision, starting August 20th, as we grow closer to God and one another through Wednesday Nights @ RCC.
 
In Christ,
Zach

Iglesia Cristiana

Querida familia en Cristo,

Con un corazón lleno de gratitud, quiero compartir con ustedes la bendición que fue participar recientemente en la Convención Nacional Cristiana, efectuada en las instalaciones del Mid-South Christian College en Memphis, Tennessee. Durante dos días, tuve el privilegio de impartir cuatro sesiones de enseñanza con un estimado de 100 personas asistiendo en total. Agradezco profundamente esta oportunidad que el Señor me ha concedido para servir y extender Su Palabra más allá de nuestras fronteras.

Quiero expresar mi más sincero y profundo agradecimiento a toda la comunidad de RCC por sus constantes muestras de amor, respaldo y oración. Ustedes han sido una fortaleza invaluable en este caminar. Gracias por ser una iglesia que acompaña, anima y permanece firme junto a sus pastores.

Uno de los cambios que estoy orando y buscando en este tiempo es encontrar un lugar para vivir más cerca de la ciudad de Rogers. Este paso no solo me permitirá estar más cerca de la comunidad y congregación de RCC, sino también acompañar a mi hija en su nuevo reto académico, ya que iniciará estudios en el colegio NWAC aquí en Rogers. Agradezco sus oraciones en este proceso de transición familiar.

Con gozo, quiero compartir también que este mes de agosto seremos anfitriones de un evento muy especial: la Confraternidad 'Enfoque', bajo el tema: 'Discípulos que Impactan Naciones'. Se llevará a cabo del 28 al 30 de agosto en nuestras propias instalaciones. Recibiremos a congregaciones hermanas de diferentes lugares, y será un tiempo de gran reto, pero también de gran edificación para todos nosotros como iglesia local.

Les pido, de todo corazón, que se unan en oración para que este evento sea una experiencia llena de la presencia del Espíritu Santo, que Dios sea glorificado en todo, y que cada asistente reciba palabra, dirección y renovación espiritual.

Esta es nuestra oportunidad de servir con amor, de mostrar hospitalidad y de ser una luz viva para otros. Gracias por ser parte de esta visión. Sigamos adelante, unidos en propósito, sirviendo con gozo y esperando grandes cosas de parte del Señor.

Con amor y gratitud en Cristo,

Pr. Arturo Mejía

Dear Church Family,

With a heart full of gratitude, I want to share with you the great blessing it was to participate in the recent National Christian Convention, held at Mid-South Christian College in Memphis, Tennessee. Over the course of two days, I had the privilege of leading four teaching sessions with approximately 100 people in attendance overall. I deeply thank the Lord for this opportunity to serve and extend His Word beyond our local church.

I also want to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the entire RCC community for your continuous expressions of love, support, and prayer. You have been an incredible source of strength in this journey. Thank you for being a church that walks together, encourages, and faithfully stands with your pastors.

One of the changes I am currently praying about is the possibility of finding a place to live closer to the city of Rogers. This move would allow me to be more present and available for the RCC community and congregation, and at the same time, it would help my daughter be closer to her new academic challenge as she begins her studies at NWACC in Rogers. I truly appreciate your prayers for our family during this time of transition.

It is also with great joy that I share that this August, we will be hosting a very special event: the fellowship gathering called 'Enfoque' with the theme: 'Disciples Who Impact Nations.' This event will take place August 28–30 here in our own facilities. We will have the honor of welcoming fellow congregations from other places who will join us for a time of teaching, worship, unity, and spiritual growth.

I humbly ask for your continued prayers so that this event would be filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit, that everything done will bring glory to God, and that each participant would leave renewed and encouraged in their walk with the Lord.
This is our moment to serve with joy, to show hospitality, and to be a shining light to others. Thank you for being a part of this vision. Let us move forward together, united in purpose, serving with gladness, and expecting great things from our faithful God.

With love and gratitude in Christ,
Pastor Arturo Mejía

Meet the new Children's Director
I’m so excited to step into the role of Children’s Director here at Rogers Christian Church. This church holds a special place in my heart—it’s where I met my husband, Preston, and where we’ve chosen to grow our family. Preston has been part of RCC for over 20 years, and I’ve loved being part of this community for the past four years. I actually grew up attending church camp with RCC, and I have so many fond memories from those summers—laughing, worshiping, and growing in faith with the youth and staff from this very church.

Preston now serves as an elder, and our son Benton (who’s just over a year old) absolutely adores his RCC family. It’s a joy to be raising him in such a Christ-centered and loving environment. I’m truly honored to serve alongside you and help our children grow in the love and truth of Jesus.

Coming Changes
As we move forward in our Children’s Ministry at RCC, I want to share a few exciting changes that will help us better serve and disciple our kids.
Starting this month, we will be adjusting the format of our Sunday children’s services to ensure that every student, regardless of which service they attend, receives both worship and age-appropriate Bible teaching. During our first service, our 3rd–5th grade students will participate in worship and a large group lesson, while ourPreK–2nd graders will be in Sunday school-style small group discussions. Then during second service, the groups will switch. While this will change the flow of how our Sunday mornings look, it will allow each child to experience both styles of learning in a way that’s tailored to their developmental level.

All Abilities Classroom 
Another exciting step we’re taking is the launch of our All Abilities Classroom. This space is designed for students who may benefit from a quieter, more individualized environment with additional adult support. If you believe your child would thrive in this type of setting—or if you feel called to serve in this ministry—we would love to connect and talk more about what that could look like.
Thank you for partnering with us as we continue to grow a Christ-centered, inclusive, and engaging ministry for our children. I’m so excited for what’s ahead!

Fall Volunteers Needed
We Need You in RCC Kids!
As our Children’s Ministry continues to grow, so does our need for faithful, loving volunteers! We are currently looking for people who are willing to invest in the next generation by serving in two key areas:
🔹 Sunday School Teachers – We now need teachers for both first and second service to help lead small group discussions and Bible activities with our K–5th grade students.
You don’t have to be a Bible expert or a super-parent—just someone who loves Jesus and is willing to show His love to kids! We’re asking volunteers to commit to serving just one Sunday a month. Whether you're teaching a lesson or helping little ones feel safe and loved, you’ll be making a meaningful impact.
If you're even a little curious about what serving might look like, I’d love to talk with you! Let’s build a team that helps our kids grow in faith while creating a safe, welcoming place for every child who walks through our doors.
Interested? Come find me or reach out this week—we need you!

We’re so thankful for the opportunity to care for and love on your little ones each week in the nursery. As our ministry continues to grow, we’re making a few changes to help things run more smoothly—starting with an update to our check-in station setup!
New Check-In Setup – Same Simple Process!
We’ve made a small change to our nursery check-in area—but don’t worry, the process is still just as simple! The biggest difference you’ll notice is how things look, not how they work.
We now have two tablets at the check-in station:
🔹 Staffed Check-In Tablet – A volunteer will be at this station when available to help you check in as usual.
🔹 Self Check-In Tablet – If no one is at the desk when you arrive, you can now use our self check-in option to sign your child in quickly and easily.
Both tablets print name tags the same way, and you’ll still follow the same steps to check in—this new layout is just designed to make things more efficient and accessible, especially during busy drop-off times!
Back to School Prayer – Sunday, August 10
We also want to invite you and your children to be part of a special Back to School Prayer Time happening during the start of both services on Sunday, August 10. We'll be gathering in the sanctuary for a time of prayer over all our students, teachers, and school staff as they prepare to begin a new year.
To make sure we don’t miss it, please try to have your children checked in on time, so our team can walk them over to the sanctuary before worship begins. We’d love for all our kids—nursery through elementary—to be part of this meaningful moment!

______________________________________________________________

VOLUNTEER in The Harbor Nursery!

We have many volunteer opportunities available in the Harbor Nursery Ministry and at Check-in!
🔹1st and 2nd Service Check-in Volunteers- We need friendly faces to help welcome our kiddos into service.
🔹 2's & 3's Room Volunteers – This joyful, high-energy age group needs extra hands and loving hearts! We are especially in need of help in both first and second service.
