Do you want to know Jesus more? Do you want to make Him the center of your every day? Do you want the saying “new year, new me!” to actually mean something in 2025? Join us for our 2025 Spiritual Growth plan where we are going to journey through the Bible together in chronological order. This is the perfect opportunity to establish new habits, grow in your faith, and challenge yourself to read the Bible every day. In addition to the daily Bible reading, we also have suggested books of the month for you to check out. Just click on the links below to get started!
21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
At RLC, we are aware of our powerlessness to accomplish anything on our own. Our only hope for transformation, influence, positive impact, and life change begins and ends with our Father. Because of our complete dependence on Him, we believe there is no better way to start 2025 than by making room in our lives for prayer. That said, starting January 5th, you are invited to make room for God in your daily life by joining us for 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. Use this guide below to help read God’s Word, think through the passages, and focus on prayer. God promises that seeking Him is ALWAYS time well spent.
“You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.” – Jeremiah 29:13
There are two components to this guide: weekly prayer exercises and daily devotionals. The weekly exercises are activities meant to be done during the week at a time that makes sense for your schedule. The daily devotionals should be completed every day, incorporating prayer prompts, Bible reading, and small devotional writings. We encourage you not to rush through your daily readings. Sit, think, listen, and make room for the presence of God.

Available Classes
Holy Spirit (Wadsworth)
As Jesus was leaving this earth, He promised us a Helper who would come and empower us to live for Him. But many believers today don’t fully understand or embrace the role of the gift of the Holy Spirit in their daily lives. Without the Holy Spirit working in us, with us, and through us, we cannot walk in all that God has for us. In this series, we want to inspire and equip you to understand and embrace the active, daily role of the Holy Spirit in every area of your life. We will take the time to learn how to experience and live daily in the Holy Spirit and give every person the opportunity to engage in the Holy Spirit in practical ways.
Love in Chaos (Orrville & Wadsworth)
We don’t have to look far to see division in our world. And in many ways, we are confused, angry, and disillusioned by all the chaos we’re experiencing. How should Christians respond to the chaos? What does it look like to live faithfully in these strange and challenging times? Join us as we seek an answer these questions. Learn what it looks like to follow Jesus and obey his commands even in a time of chaos.
Rooted (Wadsworth)
Rooted isn’t simply a Bible study or a book. It is a community experience, where you’ll practice 7 rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus. You’ll establish firm roots in the Truth of God’s Word through personal study and then come together as a group to discuss what you’re learning.
