Amidst concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to let our congregation know how the leadership team of RCCG-STRC is responding to these daily challenges and updates. We are committed to doing everything we can to provide a safe environment for our church family and surrounding community.
We will continue to gather for all activities scheduled at the church premise. If at any point, there is a change, the church family will be notified immediately.
