First of the Month Breakfast

Sunday, September 6 | 10am

Every 1st Sunday of the month at 10:00am we host a breakfast in between services as a way to fellowship and connect with one another.

Our breakfasts are made possible by food and monetary donations from our church family. If you would like to volunteer to bring food for the breakfast sign up below.

Baptism Class

Sunday, September 20 | 10am

Baptism is an outward sign of an inward reality. If you have decided to follow Jesus we want to walk with you as you take the next step in your faith.

If you are interested in being baptized or want to learn more, attend our next baptism class.

Baptisms will take place Sunday, October 4th.

Membership Class

Sunday, October 18 | 4pm

Church membership is more than just belonging to a local body of believers. It is a covenant relationship between the church and its members that reflects the love of Christ and the Church.

If you are interested in becoming a member of Rio Life Community Church, register for our Membership Class to learn more about who we are, what we believe, and what membership is.

Note: Baptism following conversion is a requirement for membership. If you have not been baptized, please sign up for our next Baptism Class. If you are pursuing baptism you may still attend the membership class.

Membership Classes are offered twice a year- Fall and Spring.

Women's Retreat

Friday, October 23

Rio Life Women, you are invited to attend our ASC District Women's Retreat October 23rd-25th at the Lakeview Camp and Retreat Center in Waxahachie, Texas.

As we follow Jesus, we're called not only to grow in our own faith but to help others do the same. The Basic Training Program is designed to equip believers to become faithful disciples who make disciples through biblical study, practical ministry experience, and intentional discussion.
