Our Church and Our MissionReal Life Community Church has had the same mission since its founding in Safford in 1980 - to teach believers how to enjoy a truly Christ-like life, to serve the those in need and to care for those in need To us Jesus in the believer is the only “real life”. Galatians 2:20 There is no eternal life nor joy without Christ Jesus, and with Him there is all of life and more than the human mind can imagine!
RLCC is a Church of the Nazarene, a Christ centered, Bible-based fellowship of churches across Arizona and around the world.
Through our history we have provided a range of programs to serve the people of our area. Examples include ministries for families, for children, for teens and for people facing various needs – homelessness, hunger or health crisis.
2024 is a great time in the life of RLCC.
Our mission never changed – (a) to bring people to Jesus through sharing the way of salvation by grace, and (b) to bring Jesus to people as we serve them by the Spirit of Christ, and as He manifests His presence through us.
Our programming vision in 2024:
1. To continue inspiring worship and practical Bible teaching to be a place where people can find the Lord. Our worship services that focus on praise to God and the teaching of God’s word, the Bible in helpful and encouraging ways. Sundays at 10:30 our pastor, Dr. Clint Ayers brings messages that instruct and inspire people in a life that satisfies the soul, and which honors the Lord. Join us on Sunday. Currently we are praying for God to bring us a Children’s Church program and a nursery.
2. To start Children’s Church classes for K-5, and a fully staffed nursery and preschool care.
RLCC has a history of teaching children about Jesus in a manner that is age appropriate, highest quality curriculum and fun. In 2024 we believe God will lead us to success in having these programs.
3. To develop community where you and your family can find friends and learn great things God has for you.
