Services
Our congregation worships at 10:30 a.m. every Sunday morning. The heart of this traditional service is the worship of God which seeks to engage our daily lives as people of faith and followers of Christ.
On the first Saturday of every month, RRUCC holds a special worship service. This more informal and contemporary service is called the 'Prime Time with the Lord' Saturday service, and meets at 5:00 p.m.

Education
Potter's House is our children and youth educaion program here at RRUCC. The vision statement of Potter's House reads: A place where God creates and we celebrate! Potter's House meets every Sunday morning at 9:00 during the regular school year.
We also have an Adult Bible Study class that meets at the same time, where we discuss the Bible and what it means for us.
From time to time, we hold adult faith formation classes on Wednesday afternoons and evenings. These classes are four weeks each and cover a range of studies and topics. Please check out our calendar for time and topic.
