The Cascade initiative of Rancho Bernardo Community Presbyterian Church (RBCPC) in very basic terms is an attempt to help our church be more than a great place where people from the community can come to find God. We hope to create avenues for the people of God to go and be instruments of blessing in our community.

It’s a new way:

… of understanding how to be the church. Less focus on being a place, and more focus on being a people of God.

… of following Jesus as his disciples. Our good works must flow from a changed character and not from a expectation of religious behavior. “Want to” and “Get to” are far better motivations than “Have to…”

… of recognizing what God is doing in our communities and how we might participate with him.  We intend to be inclusive with whom we come alongside recognizing that God does amazing things through people churchgoing or not.

The blog at this website will speak to elements of these new ways of thinking and operating.

You can read about our Mission, Values, History at the links above. For those with too much time on their hands, you can find access to our committee working documents.

Most importantly, as you read about what people are doing you may find yourself wanting to launch something God has put on your heart. Do some reading around this site and let’s talk. Alternatively, you may be interested in coming alongside others with the unique gifts, abilities, passion you are blessed with. We have started a very incomplete list of ideas and projects in various stages of development. Check out the “What’s Cooking” page.
