Missional Steps

Invest in Another

• In addition to developing a personal plan for your discipleship strategy, we want you to consider who you can intentionally invest in and disciple.
• Consider your natural connections.
• Begin by inviting someone to church, giving your testimony, or sharing the gospel.

Give to the Cause

• We can make no more significant financial investment than giving to Kingdom work.
• You can give generously and know that your gifts are used intentionally for gospel work in our church and worldwide.
• The Bible provides an excellent starter goal of 10% of one’s gross income toward a local church.
• Even if we each can’t give the same amount, we can all give the same percentage of sacrifice.
• When you give to the RC Missions Offering, 50% goes to the International Mission Board, 25% goes to the North American Mission Board and the South Carolina Baptist Convention, and 25% provides mission trip scholarships for Rocky Creek members.

What is the RC Legacy Fund?

• A legacy can live on even after life ends by wisely contributing to the Great Commission.
• We have an easy way for you to develop a will by working with a ministry agency.
• By agreeing to contribute to a ministry cause through your estate planning, the legal fees are reduced, and you can help fund Jesus’ mission until He returns.

Volunteer with a Ministry

• We partner with local ministries that are like-minded in the gospel and mission.
• We desire that Greenville develops into a healthier and holier place because we live and serve within it.
• Churchwide Emphases – We typically highlight a quarterly opportunity for all church members to give back and step up.
• Gospel Group Outings—We encourage Gospel Groups of all ages to find a way to serve together once a quarter.
• Volunteer Opportunities—If you have more time in your schedule and desire to serve more often, we would love to help you find a perfect opportunity.

Go on a Trip

• We have opportunities for you to join a team and take the gospel locally or globally.
• While each year highlights different trips, we focus on partnerships with church plants and unreached people groups.
• By sending more consistent teams to the same places, we can better serve the partnering missionaries and the lost people they serve.

Here are some milestones to consider:

• By 10th grade, we encourage our students to go on one trip within the United States.
• By 12th grade, we encourage our students to go on one trip outside the United States.
• During college, we encourage our students to serve somewhere for an entire summer.
• After college, we can help those desiring to serve in a 2-year commitment.
• For career commitments, we will partner with you as you go to the mission field.

Assist the Recommission Network

• The Recommission Network is a family of aligned churches attempting to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to their surrounding communities.
• Our heart is to plant and replant healthy churches that are multiplying disciples.
• Rocky Creek is helping other churches around this area by sharing resources and aligning strategies.
• You could serve for a period of time by helping one of these churches in teaching groups, leading worship, leading children’s ministry, helping with facility projects, or assisting with other opportunities.
• You can help at a Recommission Network church on Sunday morning and attend RC on Sunday evening. Or you could serve for a few months to help begin at another place what God has done for you here.
• These churches aren’t campuses.
• To help them, we align sermon series, worship sets, discipleship strategies, ministry initiatives, administrative needs, and missional opportunities.
