If you could say one thing to RTMC in 2075, what would it be?

What came back were not platitudes.

They were specific, heartfelt, and in some cases genuinely beautiful.

We offer them as they arrived — a chorus from across the generations.

✦ SERVANT LEADERSHIP

“Keep to the original vision of RTMC’s founding members. Follow Jesus’ model of servant leadership.”

— May Whittington (Samuel)

✦ FROM RELIGION TO RELATIONSHIP

“Stay with Jesus, and don’t try to soften His message. In Revelation 22:19, God warns us not to soften His Words.

Our contact with RTMC took us from religion to relationship. That is what the church must continue to offer.”

— Anneke & Piet Van der Deen, Holland

✦ FAITHFULNESS TO THE END

“Commit to being faithful in following Jesus, with daily renewal. Serve Him without a single thought of personal gain or recognition.

Strive to live in such a way as to be able to say before God, along with the Apostle Paul:”

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

(2 Timothy 4:7)

— Daniel Dawson, Ontario, Canada

✦ THE RICHNESS OF COMMUNITY

“I hope the congregation of 2075 can experience the richness of community that I found at RTMC.

As a young man, I found the Fruits of the Spirit here. I hope young people in 2075 will also be so blessed.”

— Peter M. Paul

✞ A CHORUS FOR 2075

Across these four voices, a common thread emerges:

Stay with Jesus.
Serve without seeking recognition.
Preserve the church’s calling.
Choose relationship over mere religion.
Remain faithful.
Build a community where the next generation can flourish.

From 1975 to 2075, the buildings may change, the city may change, and generations may come and go.

But the invitation remains the same: follow Christ faithfully, serve others humbly, and pass the faith forward.
