About us

OUR roots

Everything we believe is rooted in Scripture.

Christians throughout history have faithfully worked to summarize what Scripture teaches in creeds, confessions, and catechisms passed down through the centuries. We take that inheritance seriously, not because we’re bound by tradition, but because we’re grateful for it.

BELIEFS & FOUNDATIONS

At RMC, our theology and worship are not easily moved by trends or fashion. We hold to the Reformed faith, a tradition that emphasizes the sovereignty of the triune God in all aspects of life, the supreme authority of Scripture, and that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We are part of the Presbyterian Church in America, built on the conviction that no church is an island. We are connected to and accountable to a larger body of sister congregations.

We use creeds, confessions, and centuries-old hymns because they connect us to a faith that is bigger than ourselves and bigger than this moment. We are part of an ancient story that began unfolding long before we arrived, and will continue long after we are gone.

our worship

Our worship service is two things at once: a conversation between us and God, and a story; the story of the Bible told in miniature, every single week: Creation. Fall. Redemption. Consummation.

God initiates. He calls us to worship, we adore him, confess our sin, and receive his grace. We hear his Word preached, respond in song, and gather at the table for communion. Then we are sent back into the world with God's blessing. The following Sunday, we do it all again. We gather every week, because we need the reminder every week.

WHY IT MATTERs

This is not worship designed to entertain or impress. It is worship designed to form us. Faith takes root in the slow, steady rhythm of showing up.

Come experience it.

We gather every Sunday at 10 A.M. at the Avon Theater in Birmingham’s Lakeview neighborhood. You don’t need to know the history or the liturgy before you walk in. Just show up.
