Start, start now

Life is unpredictable, and postponing your spiritual journey can lead to missed opportunities for growth, peace, and purpose. Christ offers unconditional love, forgiveness, and the chance to live with meaning, free from guilt and fear. He meets you exactly where you are, transforming your heart and guiding you through life’s challenges with wisdom and grace.

Through Christ, you receive the gift of salvation and the assurance of eternal life, securing hope beyond this world. The Bible says, “Now is the time of God’s favour; now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Don’t wait for a "perfect" moment—God calls you today. Embrace His love, and let Him lead you into a new beginning filled with hope, joy, and purpose.

Delay leads to missed opportunities and wasted time. Proverbs 20:4 says, “The sluggard does not plough in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing.” This verse reminds us that delaying tasks can result in loss and regret. Instead of waiting for the “perfect” moment or avoiding complex tasks, we should strive to make the most of the time we have and use our talents wisely.

Diligence is a reflection of our faith and gratitude. Colossians 3:23-24 says, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” This verse encourages us to see our work as a way to honour and serve God, regardless of our earthly rewards or recognition. By being diligent and committed, we can show our gratitude for the blessings and opportunities that God has given us.

Procrastination can have a spiritual impact. In Matthew 25:5-13, Jesus tells a story about ten virgins who were waiting for the bridegroom to arrive. The five foolish virgins procrastinated and did not bring enough oil for their lamps, while the five wise virgins were prepared and ready for the groom’s arrival. This story reminds us that we should not delay our spiritual growth or neglect our relationship with God. We never know when the “bridegroom” will come, so we should be ready for his return.

Diligence leads to success and fulfilment. Proverbs 12:24 says, “The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labour.” This verse emphasizes that those who work hard and set goals are more likely to achieve their dreams and have a sense of purpose in life. Diligence is not just about being busy or productive but about using our energy and skills to positively impact the world.

Church on Sunday at Strodes College, Egham

Our Sunday service starts at 11:00 a.m. and typically lasts about 90 minutes.

We start each service with lively worship with songs from around the world, followed by inspired Bible-based teaching. All our sermons are recorded and are available as a podcast after the service.

We have a monthly cycle of Sunday services, with our Communion Service being on the first Sunday of each month and an All-Age All-Nation Service on the second Sunday of each month. Our other Sunday services include Spirit-focused and teaching services.

We have consciously adopted being a blended church that is both for those online and face-to-face. You are welcome to join us on Livestream or via Facebook, Linkedin, YouTube, or X (Twitter), or you can catch up and watch the recordings later.

Visiting with children?

Everyone is welcome at RCF. We encourage everyone, young and old, to join the service. We have Sunday School, which starts after worship and runs during the sermon for 30 to 40 minutes for children aged 4 to 12. On the second Sunday of each month, we have a shorter All-Aged All Nations Service, where the children stay for the worship and the sermon.

After Church

We chat over coffee and biscuits after church on the first, third and fourth Sundays. If you want to get more acquainted, why not join us for a Sunday lunch with some of our members? The meal is on us! Please contact us and let us know. We would love to share a meal and get to know you better!
