On behalf of the members and ministry team, I'd like to invite you to visit us at Riverside Community Church in Southern California's Inland Empire.  Our mission is "Changing Lives by Connecting People to a Gracious God."  That's really what it's all about - getting, being and staying connected to a gracious God.  We believe that when we are connected to Him, our lives won't just be changed, they'll be transformed.  You'll find that as time goes on, you'll begin to become what God has always wanted you to be.  You'll find that the healthier you are, the more your life is centered around or built on, God's five purposes of Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Outreach.  But before I get too far along, I'd like to tell you what you'll find when you visit RCC.

Join us on July 12 & 19 for a special seminar.

With today's economy heading the way it is, it has become increasingly important to learn how to budget effectly for the long term.  The Good $ense Budget course will help you do just that.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

You will learn what the Bible teaches about finances and how to combat cultural myths such as, "Debt is expected and unavoidable," "Things bring happiness," and "A little more money will solve all your problems."  During the course, you will develop a Spending Plan for the coming year.  You will learn about and choose between three different record-keeping systems to help you stick to your plan.  Most importantly, you will discover how being financially faithful can help you to become financially free!


Pre-work materials need to be completed prior to attending the course and will be given to you when you register.  Spending an hour or two completing the pre-work will ensure you get the most benefit from the course.  These materials are confidential and you will not be asked to share them with others.
