What should I wear to Sunday services?
Dress in whatever is most comfortable to you. While some will be in coat-and-tie or dresses, others will be dressed more casually. We believe that God-pleasing worship places the emphasis on what's in a person's heart rather than a person's appearance.
Will I fit in here?

Whatever your educational, political, social, economic, marital, racial, or cultural background, we want REPC to be a safe place where you can grow in your knowledge of God and His grace in Christ Jesus, as well as the life that He calls us to live in relationship to one another, our city, and world.
How often do you celebrate the Lord’s Supper?
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper in both morning worship services on the first Sunday of the month. We serve Gluten-free bread exclusively.
Can my child receive the Lord's Supper?
Only baptized children who have made a profession of faith in Jesus may receive the Lord's Supper. If you are interested in your child receiving the Lord's Supper, please download the Children's Communion Packet and work through it with your child. Once you have completed the packet and feel your child is ready to move forward, please contact Janet Freshour, and she will schedule an appointment for you and your child to meet with one of our Pastors. During that meeting, the pastor will look to discern a profession of faith in Jesus as well as an understanding of communion.

Do you have small groups?

Some of the groups enjoy dinner together, as well as, provide childcare. Email Pastor Shane Whelan for more information about getting involved in a Life Group.
