The mission of RBC’s Meals Service is to demonstrate the love of our Lord and make Him known by providing meals to those in need within our body and to supplement the care already being provided to the RBC body.

Join Us In Serving Others!

Our Meals Service Team seeks to honor and glorify God and serve the Reston Bible Church community by providing food, love, and prayer. We strive to embody the call that “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35).

We are always looking for additional women (or men!) who have a heart to serve their sisters and brothers at RBC in this way. Whether you love to cook, or are simply willing to pick up and deliver a nourishing meal, we could use your help!

How It Works

In coordination with Shepherd Groups, we link those in need of a meal with someone willing to provide for them. If you are a part of a Shepherd Group, the Shepherd Group leader is first asked to fulfill the need. For those not yet a part of a Shepherd Group, those in need are linked with those on our volunteer list to provide meals.

If you are willing to join our volunteer list (no recurring commitment required) please fill out our volunteer form and you’ll be contacted with more information on this service community.

Do You Need A Meal?

There are many reasons individuals, or families, go through stressful times. From a new baby, to the loss of a job, to caring for health issues, we understand life gets hard.

If this sounds like you, or you know of a time coming up where you or your family would be blessed to have meals show up at your door for a period of time, simply fill out the Request a Meal form.

If you are a part of a Shepherd Group, first get in touch with your leader to coordinate meals from within your community. If you are not yet a part of a Shepherd Group we will match you with people in our body who are willing to make meals and set up your meal delivery!
