Welcome to Raleigh International Church!

Our heart's desire is that every person who walks through our doors will not only feel welcomed and loved, but will also experience the presence of God. Our mission is to bring Revival, Reconciliation, and Restoration to the hearts and minds of all people. The Lord wants you fulfilled and walking in the destiny which he has ordained for you. If there is any way in which we can better serve you, please inform one of our leaders. Again, we hope you will enjoy your time with us and visit us again soon.

A Family Church

Family is very important to us. It is the basic unit of society. Just as we need strong family, it is equally important for us to have biblical unity as the Body of Christ. We are an international church family of integrity demonstrating God's love and helping people to fulfill their God-directed destiny. At RIC we are covenanted together eternally as a family to serve the purposes of God. Raleigh International Church believes that strong families are the foundation of a strong church. Through our couples', singles, teens and children's ministry, RIC reaches the whole family unit. I believe that God has called us as a body to bridge the gaps between people, calling them together as one under the Lordship of Christ. We are bridge-builders across races, cultures, and denominations in this city. I encourage you to prayerfully consider whether RIC is the ministry that God has ordained to be a part of your fulfilling divine destiny.


Our Vision

Raleigh International Church, established in 1993 under the leadership of Pastor Garland R. Hunt, was established to be a catalyst in bringing revival, reconciliation, and restoration to the city of Raleigh. Now under the leadership of Pastor Olden Thornton, this church aspires to be a place where all nations and cultures can worship and serve the Lord together in unity. Multiple ministries including a very strong children's ministry aid in helping individuals of all ages grow and reach their full potential in God.
