Missional Steps

August 12, 2024

This gospel is too great to keep to ourselves. That’s why we want to include all our members in some aspect of God’s worldwide mission.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
