RALEIGH COURT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

What RALEIGH COURT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH does

Raleigh Court Presbyterian Church (RCPC) is a nonprofit Presbyterian church located at 1837 Grandin Road S.W. in Roanoke, Virginia. Its core offering is weekly Sunday worship (one service in summer at 10:00 AM, two services at 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM during the school year) with Facebook and YouTube livestreaming for remote congregants. The church operates a multi-generational ministry portfolio: Christian education for children (nursery–5th grade), youth (6th–12th grade), and adults; music ministries; fellowship dinners; an annual congregational retreat at Massanetta Springs; and a calendar of seasonal programs including Bible & Music Camp and Winter Vacation Bible School. RCPC Preschool, established in 1980 and directed by Betsy Prillaman, is the church's largest operational program, providing weekday classes (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM) for children ages 12 months to 5 years, with supplemental offerings such as Summer Camps, Lunch Bunch, Early Risers, Soccer Shots, Bricks for Kidz, and Creative Movement.

Revenue is generated from six primary streams: tithes and offerings (including online giving via Vanco), preschool tuition and registration/supply fees, summer camp fees ($165–$210 per session), Wednesday fellowship dinner donations ($10 suggested, max $30 per family), endowment fund disbursements (an investment income stream, not a revenue stream), and special offerings for hunger relief and emergency assistance. The RCPC Endowment, established in 2009, has deployed nearly $2,000,000 to 25+ local and international mission partners, including recurring support for The Rescue Mission of Roanoke, Family Promise, Haiti Education Foundation, and Abukloi Foundation (South Sudan). Distribution channels are predominantly regional, anchored in the Roanoke Valley, with international grantmaking reaching Haiti and South Sudan.

The organization is governed by its Session within the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) denomination and has no parent company or subsidiaries other than the wholly-owned RCPC Preschool. Marketing is conducted through a Wix website (rcpres.org), Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, a weekly email newsletter, the printed Raleigh Court Herald, and community events. The church holds regional media recognition for its preschool (SwoCo Best Preschool 2014; The Roanoker Best of 2015 Silver Award) and is an Earth Care certified congregation.
