Lobby Coffee shop

Don't forget, before and after each and every service our  very own Radiant Cafe is open serving the very best of the very finest drinks (AND that includes STARBUCKS!) and cuisine there is.
Located in the lobby, our coffee shop proudly  brews all the Starbucks favorites! With specialty breakfast foods, burgers and grilled chicken sandwiches. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick meal before service or hang out with your friends afterwards. Proceeds go toward financing our foreign missions.
Drive Thru Latte Stand

Located just outside the south entrance to the building. Start your day with the smooth, sweet flavors of Radiant Cafe's Best! We also offer delicious breakfast sandwiches and a variety of treats and pastries.
Volunteer Opportunity!
Do you love the coffee shop environment? This could be the perfect place for you to volunteer - we're looking for cashiers and baristas to help out on the weekends! If you're interested, just contact one of our staff and get started this week!
Contact the Coffee Ministry or call (889) 666-271 for more information.
 

        
 

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Attend one of our monthly Doable Evangelism seminars:
It’s time evangelism became a normal spiritual practice again, like reading your bible or prayer, instead of another church program.

 After practicing what we call “ordinary attempts” (or OA’s), many people tell us that they feel “validated” and “empowered”, discovering that God counts things they already do. They can do more of that, with greater intention. That gets more people in the game…which is the whole mission of Doable Evangelism (DE).

House Churches Next Phase in Multisite Movement

By Bishop Ruthie River
Rusty River Ministries is using house churches to expand its network, showing that reaching out on a smaller scale doesn't mean retreating in the multisite movement.
We currently have 15 to 20 house churches in several states that virtually participate in the worship services held at the main campus every Sunday.
"House churches are the next extension of the multisite movement," said Rev. Father, Pope Rusty River.

The RRM Evangelical Church focus continues to call the denomination and its churches to concentrate on actively sharing the gospel of Christ with those who do not consider themselves Christians in any life-shaping way. Prayer, diligent study of and listening to the Scripture from the perspective of faith-sharing, developing relationships with non-church friends, providing community-based outreach ministries, offering guest-friendly worship services and church activities all contribute to our heightened awareness to the responsibility to ‘make disciples among all peoples,’ as Christ commands

Dr. John MacArthur
, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church
will share his thought today on the matter of:
"The façade of friendship that can be created by social networking. It has the potential to foster shallow relationships and detract from real ones."

OUR VISION FOR CHURCH PLANTING

As a movement, we want to plant churches which exhibit the following traits:

A commitment to worship and serve the Triune God revealed in Jesus Christ
A focus on building communities of faith that worship the Lord in the beauty of His holiness
A desire to grow as Spirit-filled communities that hear - and obey - His voice
A compassion that leads to training and equipping the church community to serve the poor, the lost, and the sick
An outward-focused passion that goes out in the power of the Spirit to do the works of the Kingdom of God, making disciples, planting reproducing churches, and taking the gospel to the nations

 

24

Bishop T. D. Jakes,
senior pastor of the 30,000-member  The Potter’s House
will offer food for thought on the matter of:  "All over this nation, all over this world there are people going to church today and they say they are believers, but until you can take what you've been taught and bring it to the place you gave up--you will never be the radical believer that you need to be for the times in which we live."

Evangelism

 The church is the whole body of Christ, both in Heaven and on earth. It is both visible and invisible. While the mystical perception of the church is valid, this teaching must always be held with a doctrine of visible local churches. This is the New Testament norm. Planting local churches is the divine plan. The very language of the Great Commission infers the local church. The method for making disciples prescribed by Christ can occur in none other context than that of a local church.


Our Biblical Vision for Being Missional
Our purpose with respect to ministry is not to super-size but to multiply
Numerous studies have shown that a strategy of growing through multiplication; that is multiple services, sites and congregations, is especially effective at three key purposes:
A.
Reaching non-Christians.
B.
Developing more people in discipleship and ministry.
C.
Enabling the church to retain a sense of community while continually reaching out to new people in obedience to the great commission.
All of this costs money; lots of money.  To make Our Biblical Vision possible, you are called upon to:

April 1, 2011

Dear Friends,
In order for us to fulfill our Decade of Destiny, we (Ruthie and I) call upon you to l
earn to share your faith.simply, effectively, and without fear.  We believe we don't bring God to the other but find Him in the others.  We also firmly believe that evangelism Is for everyone, not just the few and certainly not just for Ruthie and I (although, as your pastors) we will show you the path and light the way.  It is time for each of you beloved children of God, whom we have brought this far, to take the next leap of faith.  Get up out of your pews, turn off the TV set, move out of your comfort zone.  Go next door, down the street, around the corner and invite those whom you meet to come to the RRM Temple and find the happiness and joy you and we have shared lo these many years.
Pope Rusty and Bishop Ruthie


Dear Rusty River Ministries family,

Bishop Ruthie and I would like to thank you for all of your generous giving, your commitment and your selfless sacrifices that have made 2010 such and amazing year. In addition, thank you for staying in faith and believing for God to do great things through the RRM Church!
Because of you, this year we saw over 347,950 people accept Jesus as their Savior in our weekend services. Hundreds of thousands attended our live worship events in the United States and around the world, and we delivered hope to nearly 50,000 people in Dodger stadium and millions more through the live television event. Without a doubt, 2010 was one of the greatest years of ministry that we've ever known.  We know that you will help us far exceed last year's triumph for the Lord!
With just a few weekends left in the year, I would like to ask you, along with the many other families of RRM, to consider a special year-end gift. We have made it through a very challenging year, and nothing would prepare our church more for 2010 than to experience a supernatural outpouring of support.
It is a new season of God’s favor. It is a season to discover and seize God’s increase on our church and on our lives. I am so excited about what is to come here at RRM and around the world as we share the hope of Jesus.
Check below to give a special year-end gift.

Partner with RRM in the work being done throughout the world.  You can be a part of God's work by donating resources to be used to reach others with the message of Jesus Christ.

Thank you so much for being a vital part of the RRM family.
Expecting God to do greater things,

Pope Rusty and BishopRuthie


Pope Rusty and Bishop Ruthie thank you for your support.  As many thousands of you have inquired, let us say we'll soon update this very outdated picture.  We have yet to find time in our very busy schedule of meditation and contemplation to sit for a fresh one.
