Stepping Together

Something I constantly thank God for and ask Him to protect is the incredible unity that has marked our church.  When movements are marked by unity there is tremendous focus, teamwork, and momentum.

One example of unity we see in Scripture is unified giving.  Whether it was the giving to build the Tent of Meeting and Solomon's Temple or to assist the suffering church in Jerusalem, God's people gave together, recognizing that more can be accomplished when everyone combines their stewardship of God's resources in the same God-honoring direction.

RBCC followed this pattern when we launched our Next Step Campaign in 2007.  We unified our giving above and beyond regular tithes & offerings to sacrificially and generously fund the much needed Dalton campus expansion.

As part of this campaign, we want to hold a special offering to further unify our giving and increase momentum as we head into the final stretch of this campaign.  On December 13th (or anytime in December) we will have a Step Together Offering.  This offering will be help reduce and eventually pay off the construction loan since construction is finished.

  • We are asking everyone who made a Next Step pledge to give part of your pledge on December 13th (or this month).  We are not asking for a new pledge.

  • We would also invite anyone at our Dalton campus who was not able to make a pledge or was not part of Rock Bridge back in 2007, to prayerfully consider participating in this special unified offering.

  • Simple indicate "Next Step" or "Step Together" on your check or use the specially marked envelopes.


I echo the words of King David (I Chronicles 29:14):

"...who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your Hand."
