Connecting with Teachers Over Coffee

We love our community and especially our local schools! We do whatever we can to show love and support to our teachers and students in hopes of making their lives a little better. We currently serve River Trail Elementary, Forest Creek Middle, Banks Trail Middle, and Catawba Ridge High. River Rock Community Church sponsored a coffee truck for a local middle school, with the goal of serving the faculty and staff during a teacher work-day in hopes of building relationships with the school as a whole. During their time on the campus, they hung out in the parking lot and spoke to teachers as they waited for their drinks. They asked questions about their school year, the biggest challenges they were facing, and if there were specific needs that could be met. Members felt they learned a lot about the teachers and their needs. “By providing this coffee truck, we learned so much and we have now been invited back to serve in other capacities, including stepping in to help support a couple of Christian clubs they have on campus for students,” one volunteer said. The door is now open for us to build on this relationship and share the love of Jesus with the faculty and students of the school.
