Keep the Main Things the Main Things
The Great Commandments and the Great Commission

3.Love our neighbor in practical ways that meet their felt-needs
4.Make disciples of lost people locally and globally.


Family, Hospital, School and Army: Four Pictures of Who We Are

Family: Real love, real relationships, loving honesty that builds trust, serving one another
Hospital: Committed and equipped to help others find spiritual, emotional and physical health and growth.
School: Equipping Christians to minister to others. Developing leaders.
Army: Recruiting, training, deploying and monitoring believers to seek lost and hurting people, especially children and youth.


RLC is a Place Where:

1.People come to experience and enjoy God as Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
2.God's word is taught and lived with integrity and balance.
3. All nationalities, all ethnic groups and all sinners feel welcome and safe as they seek to know God and grow as believers. A “come-as-you-are” church.
4.People can get food, clothing, shelter and medical help through us and other ministries.
5.Every gift of the Spirit is honored and can be expressed by members of the church in every gathering.
6.People can be set free from the oppression and bondage of demons.
7.We network with other churches and ministries to build the Kingdom of God.
8.People are trained to coach each other to greater maturity and success.
9.People have a heart for Hampton Roads, for America and for other nations, especially for China and for Muslims.

My wife, Beth, and I are committed to seeing God glorified in this fellowship. We come primarily to build the Kingdom of God in Hampton Roads and beyond, not just to build a local fellowship. We hope to be an Is. 61:1 place where Jesus can heal people's hearts and set the captives free so they can be equipped to help others in similar ways. We want to be a place where Kingdom life is demonstrated more than talked about. We will seek the Presence of God in all our gatherings more than anything. We hope to serve other local churches and encourage collaboration among them to serve the rapidly increasing needs of Hampton Roads for body, soul and spirit. We welcome those who want to see God glorified in similar ways.

Our church now meets in homes, currently at our home at 5208 Canoe Landing, Virginia Beach, VA. 23464. My cell number is 757-802-1423. Sunday services are at 10:30 AM and Wed night Bible Study is at 7 PM. Some childcare is available.

Blessings,

Bob & Beth Fox
