Our Continuing Missions to Cuba
Our Sister Church in Havana, Cuba
We have pledged support to the church that serves the Almendares-Playa Neighborhood of Havana. The church, Los Pinos Nuevos Almendares, is led by Pastor Hector Rodriguez, a reformed protestant, and the church is located at Avenida 31/Calle 48A. The church belongs to a network called Los Pinos Nuevos which has a long history in Cuba starting before the revolution and has a continuing mission to grow throughout Cuba, spreading the word of the gospel and delivering needed support to the community, particularly food and supplies and education in the Bible to the community they serve. Their mission in Cuba is our shared mission. Additionally, members from the church in Cuba that visit the United States join with us in worship, in our local missions and small groups. In this way, we grow together as a joined church community.
What our Missions to Cuba Accomplish
The main purpose of our travel to Cuba is to join together in support of the people of Cuba, in particular with the church we support and its activities, but also to better understand the Cuban people and they us. The trips are planned with activities that foster building relationships. Prior to each trip, we ask them what needs they have, what supplies they lack and we conduct a church drive to gather as many needs as allowed that can be brought by the mission volunteers.
While we are there, we stay with the church family and attend meetings where we meet and discuss the gospel, our testimonies and hear about theirs. We attend their services and join with them in times of fellowship. The experience is rewarding for both parties and you will leave this experience with a deeper understanding of the life in Cuba and lasting relationships with the brothers and sisters of Los Pinos Nuevos Almendares.

Our Partners
RCM's Mother Church
Their Vision: We exist for the glory of God, and through the gospel’s transforming power, we become agents of truth, love, and service, making disciples for Jesus in our city and world.
The Acts 29 Network
Over the last ten years Acts 29 has emerged from a small band of brothers to over 500 churches around the world. We want to allow a unifying, uncommon movement of God to happen through Acts 29. Centered on the Gospel, we desire to advance the mission of Jesus through obediently planting church-planting churches. It is our hope to see this leading to millions of lives changed by the power of the Spirit for the glory of God.
Christ Family Church
Christ Family Church exists to glorify God by making disciples of Jesus Christ who are compelled by His love to believe all that the Gospel promises and to belong to the unified, empowered, and commissioned family of God.
Our aim is not simply obedience to God's Word but faith working through love that leads to obedience. We want every disciple to fall in love with Jesus Christ and what Christ has done on our behalf. It is as we pursue the knowledge of His love that the Spirit of God seduces us to become more and more like Jesus.
What We Believe - Westminster Confession
The Westminster Confession of Faith is a Reformed confession of faith. Drawn up by the 1646 Westminster Assembly as part of the Westminster Standards to be a confession of the Church of England; it became and remains the 'subordinate standard' of doctrine in the Church of Scotland, and has been influential within Presbyterian churches worldwide.
In 1643, the English Parliament called upon “learned, godly and judicious Divines,” to meet at Westminster Abbey in order to provide advice on issues of worship, doctrine, government and discipline of the Church of England. Their meetings, over a period of five years, produced the Confession of Faith, as well as a Larger Catechism and a Shorter Catechism. For more than three centuries, various churches around the world have adopted the confession and the catechisms as their standards of doctrine, subordinate to the Bible.

What We Believe - The Canons of Dortd
Everyone knows the acronym TULIP, but not everyone knows where this acronym comes from. The Canons of Dordt are among the most famous but unread deliverances of any Reformed Synod. The canons are more than five letters. The canons teach a pastoral doctrine of grace and provide a model for the stewardship of the Gospel.
The Canons (rules) of the Synod of Dordt were written after years of controversy within the Reformed churches in Europe and Britain. In the late sixteenth century the Reformed doctrines of sin, grace, faith, justification, atonement, perseverance, and assurance faced a growing resistance. At the same time, James Hermanson (c. 1559–1609), known to us as Jacob Arminius, was a student in the Genevan Academy where he showed promise and no obvious evidence of heterodoxy.
