Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless human life, willingly took upon Himself all of our sins, died and rose again bodily, and is at the right hand of the Father as our advocate and mediator. Some day He will return to consummate history and to fulfill the eternal plan of God. (Isaiah 9:6; Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:1-5, 14:10-31; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 1:3-4; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 1 Timothy 6:14-15;
Titus 2:13; Hebrews 4:14-15)
Throughout the New Testament, we find water baptism as a public proclamation and symbol of one's personal faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Baptism always accompanies the confession of faith in Christ or follows shortly after that confession. Today, out of obedience to Christ's command, baptism remains an important part of proclaiming one's commitment to Christ.
The imagery of baptism is the washing away of one's sins by water and the process of experiencing Christ's death and resurrection by dying to one's sin and receiving new life. Baptism is also a visible proclamation on the part of the person being baptized that he or she owes complete allegiance to Jesus Christ.
The Spiritual Voyage is a series of four classes that will help you understand more about God, His plan for you and how we do ministry here at River Rock. These classes will help you move through key passages of spiritual growth, get involved in the ministries of River Rock and become a fully-devoted follower of Jesus Christ!
Life Groups are small groups of people that meet during the week throughout our community. These long term groups provide a place for you to connect with others and grow spiritually. There’s something for everyone including couples, singles, mothers, men, women and youth.
We find joy in using our God-given gifts, talents, and passions to consistently serve God, our neighbors, and each other; not just going to church...being the church. At River Rock we strive to help people create balance in their spiritual lives just as we should in all areas of our lives. It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting your spiritual voyage or have been following Jesus for many years – you can find a place to serve at River Rock.
We believe that giving is a part of our worship. We give whole-heartedly and freely to the God that has provided so much for us. Christ-followers need to understand giving is what God wants FOR us; it's not about what He wants FROM us. The fact of the matter is God doesn't need our money. But He knows that giving will benefit us in so many ways!
