Current Sermon Series
FROM ZACH
As we prepare to turn the page on the new year, I look back at 2024 with fondness, but like you I’m sure, I’m also looking forward to leaving some stuff in the past and pushing into a new year with passion and purpose! With this month’s article, I want to talk to you about our open Worship Pastor position, and our message series we’ll be opening the new year with.
Our Worship Pastor, Allen Williams, last day with us on staff is December 31st. That’s the day this article was written. I believe that as a body, we sent Allen off very well, and we’re excited to have them plug in with us as incredible church members. Please join me in praying for Allen and his new career in the construction field. If you weren’t at our December 29th service, let me encourage you to reach out to Allen, send him a card, do something to let him know how much you’ve appreciated his leadership over the last 17+ years.
When Allen let me and the elders know in June that he felt the need to transition out of vocational ministry, it was a bit of a surprise. It’s not what we wanted, but we know, love, and trust Allen and Kameesha. Since then, God has sent encouraging signs to them, and I’m sure that they’re following his will for their lives. Of course, that leaves us with an opening for our Worship Pastor position. This is a critical hire that I need to make, and I ask that you pray that God would give me wisdom for it. Under Allen’s leadership, especially since the remodel moved us to a bigger and better space, our Worship Ministry has become a much more attractive landing spot for talented singers, musicians and tech people. Because of that, it’s a little easier on my end to attract quality candidates. To date, I’ve interviewed six candidates. Two were not right for us, and one accepted a position with another church after our second interview. Currently, I am focused on the remaining three, and I can honestly say that in my opinion, they’re the best three for us. I do have other resumes and will conduct other interviews, but my main focus is on these three. I believe that each of these individuals can continue to develop, grow and improve our worship efforts at RCC. As I talk with each candidate, I’m asking just about every question that I can imagine. I’ve watched online services and YouTube videos. Allen has graciously agreed to speak with each candidate regarding their knowledge on the tech we utilize in the Worship Ministry (this is not my strength!).
What I believe you will see over the next several weeks and months, are weekends where we bring in candidates for further interviews, and what we’ve called “try outs,” where they will work with that weekend’s worship team and lead for us that Sunday morning. From there, we will prayerfully move forward with a decision. If it’s none of the candidates we bring in, we will keep praying, keep interviewing, and keep moving forward in faithfulness. In the meantime, we have three very gifted women who will lead our Sunday services. One of the best things Allen has done is to build a team that was able to step in and not miss a beat when he was out on vacation. Thankfully, the members of our Worship Ministry are ready to step up. I believe that we have the talent, heart, dedication and faith in place that our Worship Ministry will continue to grow and inspire their church family in worship. Our responsibility as a Jesus people is to bring our best sounds and thoughts for Jesus each and every Sunday, or simply put, show up with a heart and soul ready to worship. Again, I ask for you to pray for wisdom for me as I move forward with this process. I also ask again that you pray for Allen and his family as they start this next chapter of their lives. I ask that you pray for Melissa Turner, Becky King and Catrina Scroggins as they plan and lead our services for the next several months.
On January 5th, we will kick off our new year with our annual vision series. This year's series is six weeks long and will be called, “Among the Lions.” This series is from the book of Daniel, and we’ll use it to help us better understand what it means to live for Jesus in an unfriendly world. I’d encourage you to read the book of Daniel in preparation for this series. As we work through the first six chapters, we’ll talk about our church’s philosophy, mission, purpose, core values and vision. It’s a vital series. It’s a reminder of who we are as well as a snapshot of who we need to become. God has called this body of believers to be Disciples Creating Disciples. Living that out doesn’t just happen. It takes a faith, a focus and a fellowship of believers. God has blessed our body in so many ways. His mission and call for us deserves our attention. I ask that you do everything you can to listen to and process each of these messages. If you can’t make it to campus, please join us online.
God bless you, RCC!
In Christ,
Zach

FROM ALLEN
As worship pastor, my favorite part of the role was to stand in front of you Sunday after Sunday and witness you all express your worship to God. I regard it as a gift being in the room and witnessing your worship of your Creator by way of praise, music, and prayer. These actions may seem outrageous, maybe even abnormal, to a non-believer looking in from the outside. But from the perspective of a Christ-follower, those actions are simply beautiful. Lives that are lived as expressions of worship to our God are lives that are full of love and grace and peace.
As I reflect on my time at Rogers Christian Church, I want to share with you my all-time favorite worship leading memory. It was a time when you surrounded me and my family with love and support during one of the most difficult times in life. I considered my wife's parents, my in-laws, as a second set of parents when my own parents were still serving the Lord abroad and were unable to be present in our lives. In 2017, we noticed that my mother-in-law wasn't her normal tireless, active, grandma self during Thanksgiving. About a week later, Kameesha received word that her mother was in the hospital. Kameesha immediately went to her mother's side to be present for all the tests. Early that December, I had just finished leading worship for second service when Kameesha called me during Zach’s sermon and she said to me, "Please have them pray for my momma." After I made the request publicly and had the closing prayer, there was a line of people who hugged me and showed their love and support because many knew what we were going through. When she died a few weeks later, there was such an outpouring of genuine care from everyone. So. Much. Love. When I reflect on Mary’s death, I’m reminded of how much RCC loves us.
I am sincerely excited about the future of the worship ministry. Whoever is next in line to lead the ministry, they will lead a worship team who are prepared and willing to continue to be a part of its growth and maturity. I am so grateful for the 3 leaders, Melissa, Becky, and Catrina, who will serve as interim worship leaders. I know that they will lead with grace and excellence.
To the congregation of RCC, thank you for allowing me the privilege of being your worship pastor. Thank you for showing me grace and understanding when I made mistakes, big or small. Thank you for trusting me by attending and participating in the special services. And thank you for loving my family. I look forward to continuing to serve the Lord alongside you.
To the leadership, thank you for leading this church body with maturity and grace. Leadership is never a simple task, especially as Elders and Deacons. Thank you for not pushing me aside once I made it known that I wanted to retire. Your time, support, and words of encouragement are pure gold.
To the staff, you guys are my favorite people on the planet. I loved spending time and doing ministry with you all. The saddest part of my departure is not getting to work with and alongside you. Until I was called to RCC, I longed to be a part of a team. For 17 years, God placed me right in the middle of a great one. It has been my honor to sit at the same table with you all. I relate to the Apostle Paul when he wrote, "I thank my God every time I remember you" (Phil. 1:3).
I love you all.

Querida familia de RCC,
Al comenzar el 2025, tomamos un momento para reflexionar sobre el año que ha pasado. Sin duda, 2024 fue un año lleno de desafíos, nuevas actividades y momentos inolvidables que glorificaron a Dios. Juntos, hemos crecido más fuertes como iglesia y como comunidad, demostrando amor, unidad y fe en cada situación.
Vimos crecimiento en nuestros grupos comunitarios, donde se construyeron relaciones más profundas, fomentando la oración, el ánimo y la fe compartida. Iniciativas como “ Sweet Blessings & a note” trajeron sonrisas y esperanza a muchos, reflejando el amor de Cristo a través de actos de bondad. Nuestra celebración del mes de la herencia hispana nos recordó la alegría de la unidad cultural al celebrar nuestra fe juntos, culminando en nuestro viaje a Eureka Springs para presenciar la poderosa representación de la Pasión de Cristo. Adorar en la creación de Dios durante la actividad Iglesia en el Césped fue otra manera hermosa de conectarnos con Su presencia.
Desde los desayunos en la iglesia los sábados por la mañana hasta cortar el césped como un servicio de amor, experimentamos cómo los pequeños actos de servicio reflejan la humildad de Cristo. El programa de donación de alimentos al Motel 8th Street, Loving hand of God, junto con otros esfuerzos comunitarios, mostró cómo la mano amorosa de Dios trabajó a través de cada uno de nosotros para satisfacer necesidades y brindar esperanza. Cuando el tornado azotó Rogers, fue increíble ver a nuestra familia de la iglesia unirse para servir. A pesar de nuestras propias necesidades, priorizamos ayudar a nuestra comunidad, mostrando las manos y los pies de Jesús en acción. En cada evento y desafío, vimos la provisión y la presencia de Dios.
"No nos cansemos de hacer el bien, porque a su tiempo segaremos, si no desmayamos." (Gálatas 6:9)
Al comenzar este nuevo año, recordamos que la vida siempre traerá gigantes a enfrentar. Sin embargo, con el poder y la ayuda de Dios, podemos vencerlos. Avancemos de la mano del Señor, confiando en que Él nos guiará a través de cada desafío y nos llevará a la victoria. Todo lo que hagamos en el 2025, hagámoslo con todo el corazón, como para el Señor y no para los hombres, como dice Colosenses 3:23.
Este nuevo año es una oportunidad para profundizar nuestra fe, servir con propósito y fortalecer nuestra unidad. Juntos, como familia de la Iglesia Cristiana de Rogers, animémonos unos a otros en la fe, sirvamos incansablemente con alegría y humildad, y seamos una luz en nuestra comunidad, reflejando el amor de Dios en todo lo que hacemos.
"Así brille vuestra luz delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras buenas obras y glorifiquen a vuestro Padre que está en los cielos." (Mateo 5:16)
Al enfrentar este nuevo año, recordemos las palabras de Filipenses 4:13: "Todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece." Con el poder de Dios, estamos equipados para conquistar cualquier desafío y abrazar cada bendición que se nos presente. Cada familia en nuestra iglesia ha desempeñado un papel vital al reflejar una iglesia que siempre está activa para el Señor. Su dedicación es un testimonio de cómo Dios nos está usando para construir Su reino.
Demos un paso audaz hacia el 2025, confiando en que el Señor continuará usándonos para Su gloria.
Deseándoles un año lleno de bendiciones, valentía y victorias en Cristo,
Pastor Hispano, Arturo Mejía

Dear RCC Family,
As we step into 2025, we take a moment to reflect on the year that has passed. Truly, 2024 was a year filled with challenges, new activities, and unforgettable moments that glorified God. Together, we have grown stronger as a church and as a community, demonstrating love, unity, and faith in every situation.
We saw growth in our community groups, where deeper relationships were built, fostering prayer, encouragement, and shared faith. Initiatives like Sweet Blessings and A Note of Joy brought smiles and hope to so many, reflecting Christ’s love through acts of kindness. Our Hispanic Heritage Celebration reminded us of the joy of cultural unity as we celebrated our faith together, culminating in our trip to Eureka Springs to witness the powerful depiction of Christ’s Passion. Worshiping in God’s creation during Church on the Lawn was another beautiful way to connect with His presence.
From hearty breakfasts on Saturday mornings to mowing lawns as a service of love, we experienced how small acts of service reflect Christ’s humility. The 8th Street Motel Food Giveaway, alongside other outreach efforts, showed how the loving hand of God worked through each of us to meet needs and provide hope. When the tornado struck Rogers, it was incredible to see our church family come together to serve. Despite our own needs, we prioritized helping our community, showing the hands and feet of Jesus in action. Through every event and challenge, we saw God’s provision and presence.
"Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)
As we begin this new year, we are reminded that life will always bring giants to face. However, with the power and help of God, we can overcome them. Let us move forward, hand in hand with the Lord, trusting that He will guide us through every challenge and lead us to victory. Whatever we do in 2025, let it be with all our hearts, working for the Lord and not for human masters, as stated in Colossians 3:23.
This new year is an opportunity to deepen our faith, serve with purpose, and strengthen our unity. Together, as the Rogers Christian Church family, let us encourage one another in faith, serve tirelessly with joy and humility, and be a light in our community, reflecting God’s love in all that we do.
"In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
As we face this new year, let’s be reminded of the words in Philippians 4:13: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." With God’s power, we are equipped to conquer any challenge and embrace every blessing that comes our way. Every family in our church has played a vital role in reflecting a church that is always active for the Lord. Your dedication is a testimony of how God is using us to build His kingdom.
Let us step boldly into 2025, trusting that the Lord will continue to use us for His glory.
Wishing you a year filled with blessings, courage, and victories in Christ,

What a Joyful December!
Parents, we’ve had an incredible time this month in Children’s Ministry! Our Minute to Win It games on Wednesday night were a blast, filled with laughter, teamwork, and excitement. And who could forget our cozy Christmas PJ and Movie Day? It was such a fun time celebrating the season together and reminding kids of the true meaning of Christmas.
Looking Ahead to January
As we step into the new year, our focus will turn to John the Baptist and his unique role in preparing the way for Jesus and His ministry. Through John’s story, your kids will dive into our camp motto and learn these life-changing truths:
I believe God gives me purpose.
I believe God can speak to me.
I believe God is powerful.
I believe God’s words are true.
We can’t wait to see how God will grow their hearts and faith through these lessons!
Calling All 4th & 5th Graders!

Parents, we’ve had an incredible time this month in Children’s Ministry! Our Minute to Win It games on Wednesday night were a blast, filled with laughter, teamwork, and excitement. And who could forget our cozy Christmas PJ and Movie Day? It was such a fun time celebrating the season together and reminding kids of the true meaning of Christmas.
Looking Ahead to January
As we step into the new year, our focus will turn to John the Baptist and his unique role in preparing the way for Jesus and His ministry. Through John’s story, your kids will dive into our camp motto and learn these life-changing truths:
I believe God gives me purpose.
I believe God can speak to me.
I believe God is powerful.
I believe God’s words are true.
We can’t wait to see how God will grow their hearts and faith through these lessons!
Calling All 4th & 5th Graders!
Don’t forget to sign up for SuperStart!—an amazing conference created just for preteens. It’s a weekend packed with fun, connection, and faith-building experiences. You don’t want your child to miss it!
Thank you for letting us partner with you to guide your kids closer to Jesus. We are so excited to see what God has in store for 2025!

Happy New Year, Family! It’s so hard to believe that 2025 is here! I pray you all had a safe and fun filled holiday spent with those you love. During the month of January, your child will learn about how God made us and helps us grow. Our verse this month will come from Psalm 139:14 “I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” This month, we will help your child hear words and songs about how God made them and feel thankful that God is helping them to grow.
