terry@moberleysite.com Raccoon Ford Christian Fellowship (RFCF) is a regional church whose families live in Albemarle,
Greene, Madison, Orange, Culpeper, Spotsylvania, and Louisa Counties. Chances are good that
we have members in your neighborhood. We are a family-oriented church with a broad range of
socioeconomic backgrounds. The church has 200 very active members and successfully bridges
five generations. The congregation was formally established on Easter Sunday in 1979. Pat Bopp
is our third pastor and has served in his position since January of 1995. RFCF is a non-
denominational charismatic church which has a strong emphasis in renewal. Sunday services
offer contemporary worship, Spirit-empowered preaching, and prayer for personal needs. We
believe in the present day operation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, prayer for the sick and deliverance
from evil spirits (Statement of Faith). We are also involved in local evangelism and foreign outreach
in Haiti, Mexico, Kenya, and the United Kingdom.
Raccoon Ford Christian Fellowship seeks to equip it's members for the work in the church and in
the market place (Ephesians 4:11-12). Through prayer ministry many have been healed from
ailments such as back and neck pain, arthritis, prostate cancer, abdomen cancer, brain tumors,
diabetes, double and blurred vision, panic attacks, life-long lactose intolerance, depression, and
rotator cuff injuries. Members of our prayer team have also successfully prayed for the deaf and
blind. In one of our house group meetings a member of the community had a large mass
disappear after prayer. The doctor told her that it was a miracle. We agreed! There is a strong
emphasis on the activity of the Holy Spirit in the Sunday morning worship service and more often
than not, someone is healed – twenty were healed in a recent service. We also offer prayer for the
sick for those in our community who cannot come to the church.
We have the kind of youth every church would love to have. They actively participate in the services
by leading the worship, praying for the sick, preaching sermons and leading special events
designed just for youth in the community. They have a high degree of spiritual insight, passion for
God, and hunger for His Word. They also have a genuine love and respect for their parents and for
those who lead the church. Programs for children include a graded Sunday School, Children’s
Church, and Royal Rangers – a mid week Christian scouting program. Middle and high school
students are invited to attend Sunday School, bi-weekly house groups, annual work camps, foreign
mission trips, and weekend retreats or conferences. High School students are given an
opportunity to participate in our youth worship team. Rising juniors and seniors may apply for
involvements with the Adult worship team.
Ministry opportunities for adults include but are not limited to regional house groups , Sunday
school, adult worship team, prayer ministry team, ministry for seniors, local outreach/evangelism
and foreign mission trips. Those who come to the church are assisted in finding an avenue of
service which corresponds with their God-given desires, spiritual gifts and calling. Much time and
attention is given by the staff and members to newcomers. We want to make the transition into
Raccoon Ford as smooth as possible.
