Services
We warmly welcome you to the worship services at Richland Baptist Church. We have two, identical services each Sunday morning and a different Sunday evening service, all in the Sanctuary. Each service lasts approximately one hour. The combined attendance for the two morning services is about 400.
The music at RBC's worship services is "blended," as we sing hymns and choruses. This provides a variety of music to cover the range of preferences of people from the different generations. We have a choir, and the piano and organ are our main instruments. From time to time, we have special music sung by individuals, groups, or performed by the Handbell Choir. On Sunday evenings, we usually feature a small orchestra.
A highlight of each Sunday morning service is Children's Time, when children (4 years up to 3rd grade) come to the altar for a short teaching time by Pastor Stanley.

Hymn: "Speak O Lord"
Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.
Teach us, Lord, full obedience,
Holy reverence, true humility;
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity.
Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority.
Words of pow'r that can never fail—
Let their truth prevail over unbelief.
Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds;
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity.
And by grace we'll stand on Your promises,
And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us.
Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory.
