About

History

In 2000, West Center Baptist Church in Madison, SD planted Central Valley Community Church in Hartford, SD. Central Valley planted us in Dell Rapids in February 2006. We planted Christ Fellowship in Baltic, SD. And in 2011 we sent out our associate pastor to lead a church plant called Zao Community Church (later changed to Cornerstone Community Church) in Brandon, SD. Along with our network of churches, we continue to dream about how God might use us to be able to plant more Bible-believing, gospel-loving churches in our region and beyond. One major initiative has been the joining together with other churches to develop of the Timothy Pastoral Apprenticeship.

We started out in August of 2005 by meeting in homes with about 10 families/individuals to pray, discuss scripture, dream and make plans for how God might use us. In February of 2006, we held our first service at the old elementary school, with 25-40 people in attendance. We officially “launched” on Easter Sunday, April 16. In 2007, we purchased and remodeled the building at 406 East 4th St.  By 2014, we had outgrown that building, and we purchased the old elementary school, where we currently meet (511 E 7th). We’ve been able to make some great improvements to our current building, and we continue to be in a season of renovation. We hope to lay carpet and make bathroom improvements soon!

We have been blown away with how God has blessed us with opportunities to see people come to Christ, to see people grow in their relationship to Christ, to plant churches and to train and send out men for ministry. God has been good to us and we are excited to see what he’ll do in the future! If you aren’t already a part of RCC, we would love to have you consider joining us on this journey!
