Your First Visit
Whether you're looking for a home church or visiting the Twin Cities, we invite you to join us at one of our worship services. As our guest, you can expect to:
be warmly greeted
participate in an engaging worship service

fellowship with a welcoming community of faith whose mission is to exalt God, share Christ, grow in Christ and serve through the Spirit.
If this will be your first time worshiping with us we realize that you might have questions about the worship services. Below are answers to some of the questions you might have; please let us know if you have additional questions on the “Contact Us” page.
When are worship services held? Worship services are held each Sunday morning. We also have a Bible study on Wednesday evenings. Visit service times or location information for detailed information.
Please check our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/richfieldcofc when there is inclement weather to see if services are being held.
Is communion served? Each Sunday, we partake of the Lord’s Supper to remember Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. The bread represents the body of Christ given for us on the cross. The grape juice represents the blood of Jesus shed for us on the cross. During worship one of the men of our congregation will share with us a communion devotional to help us remember and celebrate the Gospel of Jesus, and he will offer prayers for the bread and cup. We provide individual communion supplies that include the bread and grape juice on a table at the back of the sanctuary. Please pick one up as you enter the sanctuary if you desire to participate in communion. We leave to each person the decision to participate in the Lord’s Supper.
Do you collect a financial offering? Following communion, we have a prayer for financial offerings from our members. We have a plate at the back of the sanctuary where you can leave a physical offering of cash or check. If you would like to make a contribution online please see the following information:
Online Donations via Tithe.ly: https://tithe.ly/give?c=1307743
To avoid transaction fees you can send contributions via Zelle to treasury.rcoc@gmail.com On occasion, we also take a special collection to help meet the needs of our community or global missions.
As our guest, we ask that you consider completing a Guest Card available in each pew and place it in the plate at the back of the sanctuary so that we can follow-up with you and thank you for your visit. You are not expected to make a financial donation.
Will prayer be part of worship services? Prayer is an integral part of our worship services. Prayers of thanksgiving and/or petition will be offered at the beginning of our services, during communion, before the message and at the end of our services. Please let us know if you have a specific prayer request on the Prayer Request Card (available in each pew) and we will pray for it during the week.
Is there a cappella singing? Yes. Churches of Christ have a long history of enjoying a cappella singing (singing without the use of musical instruments). Each week, our song leaders carefully select a blend of traditional and contemporary hymns that tie to the message. All are invited to participate in praising God through song.
Does the minister deliver a message? Each week, our Minister or guest speaker will deliver a challenging and relevant message based on God’s word. At the end of the message, an invitation will be extended to those who wish to be baptized or request prayers of the congregation.
What should I wear? Our members wear a variety of modest attire at our worship services. Women typically wear dress slacks, a dress or jeans. Most men wear business casual or jeans; a few wear suits.
Should I bring a Bible? We encourage you to bring your Bible in the format that is most comfortable for you. Some read Scripture from a print Bible while others utilize their smartphone or tablet. On occasion, Scripture is included in the church bulletin and/or is displayed on a projected PowerPoint slide. We also have Bibles in the pews for you to use.
Do you have Bible studies? We believe that Bible study is essential to spiritual growth. We invite you to participate in interactive Bible classes that have practical application.
