Theology Classes:
We’re offering two upcoming classes that explore distinctive beliefs of a PCA church. These sessions are required for those currently taking our Membership Class, but they are also open to anyone who would like to learn more and grow in their faith.
The two topics are:
• Covenant Theology — how the Bible tells one cohesive story of God’s redemptive work
• Complementarianism — God’s design for men and women in the church
Both classes will take place on Sundays (January 25 and February 1) at 9:00 AM before worship in Conference Room B. Please RSVP if you plan to attend so we can plan accordingly.
Prayer Meetings:
Join us on Wednesday evenings from 8:00–9:00 PM as we gather to pray for our church and our city. For weekly prayer meeting locations, please contact Hannah Jo or Aidan George at prayer@renewalcc.org.
Moms Group:
Renewal Center City Moms Group is a safe space for moms to connect, learn, and grow together through prayer and biblical wisdom. We seek to strengthen our walk with God and nurture our families with Christ-centered love, grace, and purpose. We will be meeting every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 8-9:30 pm at the Franks home in Olde Kensington. We’ll continue our study of “The Gospel-Centered Parent.”
Community Groups:
Our Community Groups are a great way to get plugged in! If you are not yet part of a Community Group, we’d love for you to join. Sign up here! You can also stop by the Welcoming Table for more information or help getting connected.
Renewal Volleyball:
Our volleyball group has been going strong and growing! We would love for this to be an outreach opportunity, especially as many non-Renewal attendees have been joining us. If you’d like to join us, please sign up using this form.
Location: Crane Chinatown (1001 Vine St)
Schedule: We meet every Sunday at 4:30-6:30 PM, except for the first Sundays of the month.
My Well Online Giving:
We have launched our new giving platform through My Well Ministry. Please sign up here if you haven't already and set up your one-time or recurring gifts. Once your My Well account is active, remember to cancel your scheduled giving on OnlineGiving.org. To help maximize ministry dollars, please consider giving through your bank account and combining multiple funds into one transaction. My Well also allows you to cover processing fees so more of your gift goes directly to Renewal. Please email MimiKo@renewalcc.org if you have any questions.
