Position Description

Rising Sun Church of Christ (RSCC) is the largest church in the small community of Rising Sun, IN. Located directly on the Ohio River, Rising Sun is rich in history and community, but there is an obvious need for Jesus. RSCC has doubled in size since a staffing change in 2023, and they are so excited about this growth. They are seeing people step into church for the first time, as well as many who are returning after years of being separated from their faith.

The church averages more than 400 in attendance between worship and kids ministry on Sunday morning. They are meeting in-person weekly and livestreaming on both Facebook and Youtube.
