1. Equip tweens, teens, and young adults to live their lives through the lens of a Biblical worldview, and to be able to provide a defense to anyone who ask them about how they live. 2. Empower parents/guardians to have open and honest discussion with their children and teens on difficult topics through the lens of a Biblical worldview. 3. Encourage members to live out their Christian faith in all areas of their lives.

RFBC aims to provide a supportive space for conservative Christian values to be discussed. Tweens, teens, and their parents/guardians may experience an improvement in their relationship as they spend more quality time together. Parents/guardians may feel more confident in bringing up challenging topics with their children at any age/stage of development. Parents/guardians may feel more secure in admitting they do not know about a topic, while expressing their willingness to learn with their child, tween, or teen. As a byproduct, parents/guardians also have a great opportunity to help their child, tween, or teen build literacy skills such as comprehension, and critical thinking. RFBC also caters to young adults. Members have the opportunity to grow with their peers in a welcoming environment.

Books will cover topics in Christian Apologetics, cultural issues through a biblical worldview, and Christian character development – all in an age-appropriate manner. The books will be selected annually by the board members and team leaders. Members are invited to submit their picks for consideration for the following year. The current reading material can be found under Meet our Team and Reading List.

RFBC is divided into 5 groups: Champions for Truth, Children of Light, Warriors of Faith, Guardians of Hope, and Ambassadors for Christ. Each group is led by a team leader and different books will be selected to address the topics in an age-appropriate manner.

RFBC is a non-denominational organization existing to equip, empower, and encourage children, teens, parents/guardians, and young adults in their intellectual development of a Christian worldview, and consequently make a decision to follow Christ Jesus in all areas of their life.

RFBC meetings are held virtually once per month. Monthly access to the zoom platform will be given to registered members.

RFBC is open to parents and their children age 0 – 17years old, and young adults 18 - 35 years old. The book club is designed for Christians, Christian-minded, or Christian-curious families and individuals. Anyone meeting this criterion is welcome to join.

RFBC is designed as a tool to strengthen the bond between children, tweens, teens, and their parents. As a result, we ask that parents engage with their child in the book club. Children of Light (11-13 y.o.) and Warriors of Faith (11 - 17y.o.) members are required to have parent/guardian involvement in order to participate. A sponsor may be utilized if the parent/guardian is not available. Their parent/guardian will meet in the Guardians of Hope group. Please note that membership to these groups will be denied if the parent/guardian registration is not completed first. There is no separate meeting for children 0 - 10 years old.

One of the goals of RFBC is for parents to be the first voice of reason for their child, tween, or teen regarding developing a Biblical worldview. Unfortunately, some parents struggle to answer important questions their child or teen may have. RFBC's aim is to encourage growth in this area between the parent and child. Furthermore, RFBC team leaders are facilitators, not authority figures in the young person's life.

Parents are the first line of defense for their child. If a book on the list is unacceptable, we encourage you to share your objection in the forum in the virtual platform so that everyone can benefit from a healthy discussion. It is important to remember that team leaders are facilitators and book recommendations are not endorsements. Young adults may also learn from the material by objectively reviewing and discussing the discrepancies. This is a learning platform. Disagreement in the spirit of love and meekness are welcome!

While families are encouraged to complete one book per reading quarter in preparation for the monthly virtual meeting, we understand that life happens. We encourage you to continue to participate in the forum, attend the monthly virtual meetings, and to pray for creative ways to incorporate the reading into your life.
