As a community church, Rehoboth Congregational is an exciting mix
of young and old, recent arrivals and long-term residents, and those
of various religious backgrounds. This interesting mix of people from
all aspects of the community make up a dynamic and growing church
family. New faces have been joyfully added and are enriching our life
together. If you are looking for a church family or are new in town
-- we welcome you to visit with us. We are located in the village
section of Rehoboth -- just down the road from the library.
We have a very
active church school and youth program. On a typical Sunday over
80 children attend church school, with classes for 3 & 4 year-olds,
up through senior high. Curriculums are Bible-based, but with a
strong emphasis on having fun, as well as learning! Nursery care
is available, too.
By the grace
of God, we find our congregation to be "relationally-oriented"
and "Christ-centered." We celebrate deep, lasting relationships
with God and each other thorough worship, fellowship, service, prayer,
and visitation while growing in our commitment to Jesus Christ through
preaching, Bible study, and education of our children and young
people.
