Our Three Fold Vision


Round Grove United Church of Christ Missions and Outreach program reaches beyond the walls of the Church to take the message of God’s love into our communities. It is our belief that there is a fullness of God’s intended blessing in each believer’s life that can only be realized when we allow God’s love to flow through us in service to others(Philemon 1:6 NIV). Every Round Grove UCC member has some gift, talent or ability that can be used by God to make a difference in our community. Join us in empowering others by reaching out and connecting with our communities.

EMPOWER:
Empower RGUCC members to use their gifts, talents, and abilities to reach others. We provide tools and training on how to effectively share Christ with the people that God has placed within their spheres of influence.

REACH:
Reach the community by identifying needs and being a positive resource in the lives of people. We provide different ongoing ministries and sponsor numerous events that attract people to RGUCC Church.

CONNECT:
Connect those we reach back to RGUCC Church where we provide fellowship, encouragement, and openness as they come to know God through His Word, prayer, and worship.
