Leadership

“The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion... Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.” – John Stott

Future Leader

We are building our ministry team, and we believe in helping to cultivate leaders in their ministry gifts. Wesley L. Duewell once said, “It takes more than a busy church, a friendly church, or even an evangelical church to impact a community for Christ. It must be a church ablaze, led by leaders who are ablaze for God.” Utilize your God-given talents to serve on RM's leadership team. You belong here!
