Commander Steve McAloney is running our Royal Rangers program which meets during the Children’s Church hour on the 3rd Sunday of each month. (See the promo video above).

The Royal Rangers program is typically a ministry for boys and young men in grades K-12. However, since we are in a smaller church setting, we have obtained permission to allow girls to participate in our Royal Rangers program at this time. However, as our church grows and more children start attending our church, at that timeframe, we will determine if we should add Girls Ministries to our program.

While Royal Rangers is a boys program seeking to develop boys into Christlike men, we realize the immense value of nurturing our girls into beautiful, loving women of God.  We therefore highly value our relationship with our partner program for girls – Girls Ministries. This church-based discipleship program has a legacy of godly women coming alongside girls, guiding them on a path to become mature and godly women. The goal of Girls Ministries simple – to see every girl moving toward a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, and to realize her importance and potential in the kingdom of God.

Girls Ministries discipleship program is the premier program for preschool through high school girls in the world. No other girls ministry program has the same variety of activities, focused discipleship track, or a 60-plus-year proven track record of helping girls become confident, godly women who are leaders in the church, home, and world.

Research shows girls learn more quickly and deeply when they are taught by a role model. Girls need a real-life example. When a girl understands what it means to be a godly woman, she aspires to the design that God intended. A single-gender classroom has many benefits, but the greatest of these is for a girl to feel safe and secure in her discovery of who God intended her to be.

What is Royal Rangers?

The Royal Rangers program is an activity-based, small group church ministry for boys and young men in grades K-12. Our mission is to evangelize, equip and empower the next generation of Christlike men and lifelong servant leaders. We provide Christlike character formation and servant leadership development for boys and young men in a highly relational and fun environment.

The Royal Rangers program is a cross-generational ministry that interconnects well with children, youth and adult ministries and fits easily into the fabric of pastoral vision and into the flow of church ministries. We affirm the male hands-on, interactive learning style by featuring an intentional discipleship journey for boys and young men based on their unique design, needs and interests. Every meeting, outing or service activity is designed to encourage boys and young men in their walk with God.

We provide men with the tools to model Christlike manhood as they mentor boys on a Bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered journey to maturity in the faith. Boys learn to study and apply what the Bible says about integrity, doctrine, biblical worldview, cultural issues and manhood. In addition, the Royal Rangers ministry molds boys into servant leaders, teaching them vital social, equipping, attitude, leadership and service skills.

The Royal Rangers program at a local church is referred to as an "outpost" and may consist of one or more groups. Each group follows a program of activities based on the interests and abilities of boys in that group.

Experience The Journey!

Royal Rangers is a ministry geared to encourage boys to be all that God has created them to be. This program is similar to the Boys Scout Program but is a mentoring program that teaches boys how to be leaders of tomorrow. Our adventures include outings, earning merits, camping trips, and other great adventures throughout the year. Boys can make new friends, build relationships among other boys, and most importantly, establish and build a relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Vision Statement:

To Mentor and challenge every boy to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus Christ so that they become Christ-like leaders for tomorrow’s world. 

ROYAL RANGER PLEDGE:

With God's help I will do my best to serve God, my church, and my fellowman; to live by the ranger code; to make the Golden Rule my daily rule.
