Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church Invest in Me God has continued to bless and encourage our church through the mission efforts of our high school students.This summer a team of 41 students, volunteer leaders and pastors will head to the Dominican Republic to share God’s love through work projects, street evangelism, drama and ministry to children. We will be partnering with Youth With A Mission as we build three homes for poor families, minister in local villages through Vacation Bible School programs and share the Gospel on the streets with drama and testimony!

In May we’re continuing our series in Philippians. For small study guides, sermons, and Pastor Bruce’s daily devotional visit: www.rbcpc.org/philippians.

Over the years we have seen the lives of our high school students transformed through these trips and have seen them go on to participate in missions in college. www.rbcpc.org/invest-in-me.
