Purpose: 2 Corinthians 5:20

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Vision: 1 Corinthians 9:22b-23

I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.  I do it all for the sake of the gospel,  that I may share with them in its blessing.

Mission: 1 Thessalonians 3:12

May the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do  for you.

ADULT MINISTRIES
At RFMC, The Outpost we strive to help all believers to grow in their relationship with Christ, making it possible for them to become great “fruit bearers” for Him. We seek to prepare, strengthen, and encourage believers to live as ambassadors of Christ, and fulfill Paul’s plea to the Corinthians and all who have read his letters, “Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Oh That you would bless me indeed! In this fall season, our Adult director Paula has felt led to call us to prayer. Beginning on September 1st we will begin praying the Jabez prayer at 7am and 7pm. This is an independent prayer, knowing that our brothers and sisters are also praying on their own. Paula has also created a Facebook Group for those participating in the prayer call, this is a private group to share our thoughts/ ideas/ suggestions as we read the Jabez prayer book, as well as our testimonies of how we have seen it working in our lives. If you would like to be added to the group please contact Paula Johnston or Jennifer Thorn.

Special Covid-19 Announcement
As many of you may be aware, Beaver County is once again closing down indoor dining at bars and restaurants, as well as limiting gatherings to 25 or less. Currently, we are exempted from limits on attendance as long as we follow sanitizing, distancing, and mask protocols and the Supt. is not recommending that we move back to that so, we will continue on as we have been until different instructions are given. Please continue to pray for our country as events surrounding the pandemic continue to change.
Youth Ministries, GLOW
Sunday evenings, 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Here at the Rochester Free Methodist Church, our youth ministries team is establishing a focus on the youth of our community. Our Sunday evening youth group, GLOW, is a great place for fellowship, worship, food, and games. But our goal is not simply that; rather, our goal is to equip the youth to then go out and make disciples on their own, with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Children’s Ministry
The Rochester Free Methodist Church has two wonderful programs to offer our families with young children.  Shine, which runs part of the year (Sept. -April) in the evenings for grades K -5th .   And our Jr. Church program which runs continuously through the year for ages 2-12 yrs. Each program offers the children fun activities focused on spreading the message of Jesus, and teaching our youngsters how to live out a life of faith.  We understand that the children are our future, and strive to not only get them engaged and excited about faith, but to help them understand their value as a child of God.
As summer winds down and we approach the fall, we are turning our thoughts to how to do ministry with the children come September. It was not an easy decision but, at this time we are delaying the start of Shine until January, when we hope that we will all be able to start a more normal existence again.  Our Jr. Church program will resume in September, but there will be some changes to it. Social distancing and masking will be enforced as well as frequent sanitation. Children can do in-person or virtual Jr. Church as previous classes and the accompanying lessons will be available here.
