Field Day Volunteers:
Field day is a church wide event for games and prizes. If you are interested in helping Soojung plan for this event please email at soojungkim@renewalcc.org.

Renewal Mother’s Day Lunch:
We’d love to invite all of our Renewal moms for a special early Mother’s Day lunch on Sunday, May 3rd, right after church. We’ll be gathering at Urban Village Brewing Company at 1:00pm. 

This will be a really sweet time to honor and bless the mothers in our church community. Food will be provided, and it’s a women-only event—but babies who need to breastfeed are absolutely welcome. And if you’re new, we would especially love to have you join us! 

The RSVP deadline has been extended from to April 23rd to give more mothers the opportunity to sign up. We hope you can make it!  

Moms Group:
Renewal CC Moms Group is a safe space for moms to connect, learn, and grow together through prayer and biblical wisdom. We seek to strengthen our walk with God and nurture our families with Christ-centered love, grace, and purpose. We will be meeting every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 8-9:30 pm at the Franks home in Olde Kensington. Our next gathering is this Saturday, April 18th. We’ll continue our study of “The Gospel-Centered Parent.” Please RSVP here.

Bethesda Project:
We’re inviting volunteers to join us in preparing and serving a meal and sharing fellowship with the men at My Brother’s House, the safe haven for men with Bethesda Project’s. We typically meet on the last Saturday of each month – this month we will meet on Saturday, April 25th, from 11:30 AM to 2 PM. Please sign up here. If you can’t come this time but want to in the future, add your name to the waitlist section. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jun, Sue, Joel or Jay at Bethesda@renewalcc.org. 

Premarital Seminar:
Our next Premarital Seminar will be held on Saturday, May 9. If you are engaged or in a serious relationship and considering marriage, we warmly encourage you to attend. This class is designed to help couples build a strong, Christ-centered foundation for marriage. The seminar will run from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM at Crane Chinatown in Conference Room A.

Renewal Volleyball:
Our volleyball group has been going strong and growing! We would love for this to be an outreach opportunity, especially as many non-Renewal attendees have been joining us. If you’d like to join us, please sign up using this form.

  • Location: Crane Chinatown (1001 Vine St)
  • Schedule: We meet every Sunday at 4:30-6:30, except for the first Sundays of the month.

TODAY’S SERMON

We Are Led by the Spirit
Exodus 13:17-22
Rev. Addison Frank

Pray With Us

Praise Ministry

  • Pray that every member of the praise team would serve with humility, putting God first and leading praise from a place of genuine worship.
  • Pray that the team will continue to expand and that existing members will continue to grow spiritually and musically.
  • Pray for the parents serving on the praise team with new and young children, that they will be strengthened and that the children will grow up in faith.

Serve With Us

We are looking for more people to join our Welcoming Team! Our desire is to cultivate a warm and an inviting atmosphere, to make each person feel seen as they walk in through the doors. Please join us in sharing Christ’s love in this way and to welcome people into our church family. Please email us at renewalccwelcomingcommittee@gmail.com and/or reach out to David Lim, if you are interested or if you have any questions!

We are looking to recruit more members! If you have a heart for global missions and would like to be a part of supporting and encouraging the missionaries of Renewal, this could be a great fit for you! We are looking for people to join our support groups for our missionaries, to help plan for our annual Missions Conference in November, and to join us for our monthly Missionary Prayer Breakfast. Please email missions@renewalcc.org for more information!

If you’re interested in serving on our praise ministry team, including sound, please email praise@renewalcc.org for more information or speak to us after service!

We are in need of volunteers for the multimedia team. If you’re interested, please email mimiko@renewalcc.org.

Renewal has been partnering with Bethesda My Brothers House, a nonprofit organization that provides a Safe Haven, emergency shelter, housing, and support services to the homeless community. We are currently seeking volunteers to serve lunch and share a meal alongside the residents at My Brother’s House. This opportunity takes place monthly, typically on the last Saturday of each month, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. If you have any questions, please reach out to Joel Choe, Jay Garcia, Jun Shin, or Sue Park at Bethesda@renewalcc.org. Sign up here!

Coffee Hour

Everyone is invited to come to the Crane Center one hour early at 9:30am to enjoy a cup of fresh-brewed coffee, which will be made available outside the gym. Our hope is that this will provide a comfortable, inviting, and informal atmosphere for everyone to not only drink coffee but also interact with one another and form new friendships outside of the Community Group context. You are encouraged, but not required, to bring your own thermos to minimize the number of paper cups that need to be used.  

Diaconate Care

If you have any felt needs (physical or spiritual), please contact the Renewal Diaconate (care@renewalcc.org). One of our deacons or deaconesses will schedule a time to meet with you.


  • We look to offer the compassion and love of Christ as we meet and pray with you.
  • We will walk with you through a process that our Diaconate team has made to see how we can best help you.
  • We serve alongside the community of members of Renewal and our leadership team of pastors, elders, and women’s council.
Diaconate on Call: Sharon Shin
