Beliefs
The ROC is non-denominational, independent, soulwinning church. However, the teachings closely resemble those of the southern Baptist group. The group holds Saturday night church services and host a kids' service for children on Saturdays before Six O'Clock ROC. The ROC's youth programs work with Richmond youth every day of the week. The ROC's fleet of 20 school buses patrol the city to let children know that they don't have to live the "street" life and that God has a plan for them.

Famous quotes containing the word beliefs:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our own standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
