IS SPRC RIGHT FOR YOU ... ?
"At SRPC we
are all 'works in progress'. But God's grace has touched our lives and is making a
difference as we learn to love Him and love each other. We believe God is doing great
things and would love to have you be part of it!"
- Pastor Kent Adrian |
Why SRPC? ... SRPC is the right church for you if you are looking for a place:
> to connect with other people

> to determine your gifts
> to find your purpose in life
> to learn how to make a difference
We Believe:

Why is
Connecting Important? ... When we ask ourselves what is really important
in life, the answer always ends up the same - people. It is people we care about and who
care about us that make such a difference in life. SRPC provides a way to make friends who
care about each other and help each other in faith and life.
Learn how to
make good Decisions ... Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and
approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."- Romans 12:2
You will find sound Biblical preaching and
teaching at SRPC which will help you make good decisions.
Find Your
Spiritual Gifts ... God in his wisdom did not make believers to be
photocopies of one another. Instead, each believer has at least one special ability, given
according to the generosity of Christ, to be used to accomplish the work of His Kingdom.
SRPC offers numerous classes that enable
you to discover the gifts that God has given you.
What is your
Purpose In life? ... You were born to achieve something significant and
destined to make a difference in your generation ... the very substance of life is for you
to find God's purpose and fulfill it. Until you do that, you are not really living.
Whether you are twenty, sixty, or ninety there
is a burden within you, a "responsible urge" to carry out all that you were
designed to do. It is a cry of the heart - a cry of purpose that says, "I was born to
do something that I must fulfill."
It comes from God. God has placed a
"responsible urge" on your heart because of His purpose for you.

do and be at SRPC.
Opportunities to
make a Difference ... One day God will compare how much time and energy we
spent on ourselves compared with what we invested in serving others.
At SRPC you will be given the chance to
make a difference in the lives of others.
"One
life invested in another for Christ" ... "Once you decide
to invest even a small portion of the blessings God has given you into the lives of
others, you'll find the seed of something powerful sown in your own soul. And someday, in
the midst of giving yourself in the spirit and act of volunteerism, that seed will blossom
into the amazing realization that this is what you were made for!" - The Volunteer
REVOLUTION by Bill Hybels
