GROUP OF THE WEEK

We had the privilege of hosting students and leaders from Mars Hill Church in Fairhope, Alabama, at the Resort Ministry & Conference Center.

Their group spent time building relationships, growing in their faith, and creating memories together. From enjoying time outdoors and sharing meals, to playing games and worshiping Jesus together, it was a meaningful few days of connection and spiritual growth.

One of our favorite things about hosting groups is seeing students step away from their normal routines and create space to strengthen friendships, deepen their walk with Christ, and encourage one another in faith.

Thank you, Mars Hill Church, for spending time with us. We loved having your group at the RMCC and are grateful to have been a small part of what God is doing in your ministry.

VOLUNTEER CULTURE BUILDER #4

What gets celebrated gets repeated.

One of the easiest ways to strengthen a volunteer team is to intentionally recognize the people who serve. Healthy cultures aren’t built only through systems and schedules—they’re built through encouragement.

This week:

• Notice progress.
• Celebrate effort.
• Share the win.

Take a moment to highlight one volunteer. Let them know they’re seen. Let them know they’re appreciated. You may be surprised by the impact a little encouragement can make.

Who is someone that has made a difference on your team recently?

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.” — John 15:12

Jesus didn’t simply tell us to love—He showed us what love looks like. His love was patient, sacrificial, compassionate, and unwavering. In a world that often loves based on convenience, Jesus calls us to love based on commitment. The greatest testimony of our faith isn’t found in what we say, but in how we treat people. Every act of kindness, every word of encouragement, every moment of grace becomes a reflection of the love we have first received from Him. Today, let’s look for opportunities to love others the way Jesus has loved us.

The Church is at its best when it serves. ❤️

We had the privilege of hosting teams from Highland Baptist Church and Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church in Gordo, Alabama, at the Resort Ministry & Conference Center.

During their time here, they served three local families through yard work and practical projects, including helping secure a tarp on a garage in need of repair. They also delivered flowers that their children had lovingly potted to local businesses throughout the community, taking time to pray for business owners and employees along the way.

They also invested in the RMCC campus, helping refresh flower beds and complete landscaping projects that will bless future groups who come through our facility.

Every act of service, every conversation, and every prayer was a reminder of the love of Jesus in action.

Thank you for partnering with what God is doing through the RMCC and throughout our community. We are grateful for your servant hearts, your generosity, and the impact you made while you were here.

Thank you, Highland Baptist Church and Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church. We loved having you with us.

VOLUNTEER CULTURE BUILDER #3: The 2-Question Check-In

Healthy ministry teams aren’t built only through schedules, training, and clear expectations. They are built when people know they are genuinely seen, valued, and cared for.

This week, take a few minutes with one volunteer and ask:

1. How are you really doing?
2. How can I pray for you this week?

Then listen. Don’t rush to fix the situation or move quickly to the next task. Give them your attention and remind them that they matter for more than the position they fill.

Jesus never treated people like tools for accomplishing a mission. He saw them, listened to them, and cared for their hearts. That same kind of leadership creates trust, deepens connection, and helps volunteers serve from a place of joy rather than obligation.

Care for the person, not just the position.

If you try this with a volunteer this week, comment CARE and tell us what you noticed.

Leadership will often place you in seasons when the answer doesn’t come quickly, the next step isn’t obvious, and waiting feels heavier than the work. Psalm 27:14 reminds us that waiting on God is not weakness—it is courageous trust: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Sometimes the strongest thing a leader can do is refuse to force what God has not yet released. Waiting keeps us close to Him, clears our motives, and teaches us to lead from His timing instead of our urgency.

So when the pressure says, “Make something happen,” let faith answer, “God is still at work.” Stay steady. Keep your heart open. The God who called you has not forgotten you—and His timing will always carry more grace than your striving.

A Week to Breathe, Reconnect, and Be Renewed

A few weeks ago, we had the joy of welcoming Pastor Matt and his family from Red Mountain Church in Birmingham to RMCC for a week away together.

There’s something powerful about stepping out of the usual pace and making room for what matters most. They enjoyed being close to the beach, preparing meals together, playing games, working puzzles, and sharing the kind of unhurried family time that can be difficult to find in the middle of ministry life.

Sometimes renewal doesn’t come through a packed schedule or a dramatic moment. Sometimes it arrives through a quiet morning, laughter around a table, a shared meal, and the reminder that God is near in the stillness.

At RMCC, we invite pastors and ministry families from across the United States to stay with us for a week free of charge. It’s one small way we can honor those who spend so much of their lives pouring into others—by giving them space to rest, reconnect, and receive again.

Pastor Matt and family, thank you for sharing your week with us. We’re grateful you came, and we hope you returned home refreshed in spirit, strengthened as a family, and reminded that God is still restoring what ministry can sometimes drain.

RETREAT PLAY OF THE WEEK (Leaders): Presence → Plan (20-Minute Reset)
When leadership pressure is loud, clarity doesn’t come from moving faster—it comes from getting aligned. This 20-minute reset is a simple way to lead from peace, not pressure: 5 minutes to get present with God, 10 minutes to regain perspective, 5 minutes to make a plan—then write down one next step. It’s amazing what happens when you slow down long enough to hear what matters most. Try it this week and comment RESET if you do.

Matthew 5:3 reframes what “blessed” really means: the poor in spirit—the ones who know they need God—are the ones who have the Kingdom. For leaders, this is a powerful reset. The world rewards confidence, control, and having it all together, but Jesus calls “blessed” the leader who stays humble, dependent, and honest before God. Being poor in spirit isn’t weakness—it’s spiritual clarity: I can’t do this without You. And that posture is exactly where heaven’s strength shows up. Lead from surrender, not striving. Lead from dependence, not performance. The Kingdom belongs to the ones who come to God with open hands.

Welcome back, Northwest Elementary Environmental Group! 🌊

We’ve had the joy of welcoming this amazing group from El Dorado, Arkansas to RMCC for the past six years. Each visit is full of discovery as students, teachers, and sponsors explore Dauphin Island and the Sea Lab—gaining hands-on experiences that bring environmental science and coastal ecosystems to life.

From learning and exploration to moments of wonder in God’s creation, these trips help inspire the next generation of environmental stewards. We’re truly grateful for this long-standing partnership and honored that RMCC is part of your educational journey.

Thank you for visiting us again this May—we look forward to many more years of learning and exploration together! If your school, co-op, or group would like to experience RMCC, we’d love to help you plan a visit.
