RLC is About Family
It is the people of the congregation at RLC that makes our church at the corner of 124th Street and Coldspring Road come to life. The RLC family is of a diverse group of individuals that come together to live our collective vision: Celebrating God's Grace Through Worship, Nurture and Outreach.
Our church family is made up of all ages, from families with children to singles and couples from newlyweds to empty nesters to life partners. This diversity weaves a rich, colorful tapestry and helps makes our church family so strong and inviting to all people. As a Reconciling in Christ Congregation, our doors are open to anyone who wants to join the celebration!
RLC is About Worship
Founded in 1968 and grounded in tradition, RLC also explores new directions in worship with an excellent music program. Our flexible sanctuary allows for easy rearrangement, enabling the layout to be changed during different seasons. And while our worship services follow a traditional pattern, they often incorporate new directions in format, music and even dance.
RLC is About Nurture
At Resurrection, our focus is split between our own congregation and the assistance of others. Internally, RLC provides cross-generational Christian education through regular "Caring Conversation Cafe" Sunday and other evening programs. Youth are a cornerstone of our family and additional programming is provided for teens, including participation in national conferences and special trips.
Beyond youth, RLC members of all ages participate in other special programs and events including prayer chains, movie nights, dart ball leagues and other activities with our own congregation as well as our nearby partner congregation in Milwaukee.
RLC is About Outreach
Located literally at the crossroads of New Berlin, Greenfield, Hales Corners and West Allis, RLC is a multi-community, multi-faceted congregation. RLC maintains strong, two-way partnerships with The Lutheran Church of the Reformation, a Milwaukee ELCA congregation, as well as the Kikwe Parish in Tanzania, Affica.
Our relationship with Reformation goes back many years and we consider ourselves blessed to be a partner with this wonderful group of leaders and parishoners. Our members have gotten to know many of the members and families at Reformation and each year we look for more ways to provide support in ways far beyond traditional financial ways. Many RLC families have "walked" with the people of Reformation and one of the greatest benefits of our relationship is to learn about the daily struggles faced, combined with the simple joys that life can bring to both congregations. God has blessed RLC and has blessed Reformation as well. We celebrate together the joys of those blessings.
The Summer of 2011 provided an opportunity for RLC to strengthen our relationship with our partners in Tanzania with three of our members travelling to Africa to visit the partners. This has already deepened our understanding of these partners and will help guide our future "walking" with this group.
These partnerships and others help RLC to further live the outreach aspect of our congregation's vision.
