In the past four decades of ministry at Rocky, this simple idea has changed thousands of lives and relationships. When we partner our lives with Jesus and His church, life change begins to happen.
First Things First.

Go Together.

Rocky Statement of Faith
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator and ruler of all things, and is the redeemer of mankind.
- Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins, and God raised Him from the dead on the third day.
- The Holy Spirit is our guide and comforter. He empowers believers to fulfill God’s vision and purpose for their lives.
- People are created by God to have a personal relationship with Him. Sin severs our relationship with God and leaves us in need of rescue.
- Salvation is a gift offered to us by God’s grace apart from any personal work or achievement.
- The appropriate response to God’s grace is to believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and partner our lives deeper with Jesus, His church, and His mission.
- Biblical baptism is by immersion, as practiced and instructed by Jesus and the early church.
- The Bible is the authoritative Word of God, which guides all we say and do.
- We believe the Church is a community of people who know Jesus and love like Him.
