Events

OCTOBER IS HERE! I will have a Breast Cancer Awareness fundraiser during the month of October. 100% of donations will assist cancer patients in Rutherford County who are receiving treatment(s). I am an 11-year breast cancer survivor and I know the financial difficulties one can experience. There is a display beside the nursery door. If you are able please donate to help these cancer patients. Make checks payable to R.H.I. Legacy Foundation. Thank you and God bless you! Debbie Murphy

Our 2018 CHARGE CONFERENCE for the purpose of discussing and accepting Charge Conference materials, pastor’s compensation, lay servant applications and approving our Church Officers has been scheduled for Sunday, October 21, 2018 in the Church Fellowship Center at 6:00 pm.
