Welcome to Rock of Hope Church (or, at least our website)!
We’re glad you’re here. We have a genuine hope that you would be with us in fellowship during the week. This information is to help guide you there.
Why is this our hope?
Well, when we say, “church”, we don’t mean the building we meet in, we mean the people. If you’ve been in Christian culture for a length of time, you may know that in the New Testament the meaning of the word “church” is the “people called by God.” As people responded to God’s salvation in Christ Jesus by faith through grace, they were joined together into the fellowship of God’s people. These people then gathered together as local fellowships of saved people called “churches.”
The church was never meant to be a place to go to, but something to be a part of and participate in. God uses his church to make known his Kingdom as people pray together, serve together, mourn together, praise together, give together, learn together, worship together, and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ together.
So with that in mind we say, Welcome to Rock of Hope Church! We hope you’ll come visit on a Sunday morning to behold God, fear him, and grow in understanding of the grace, love, and mercy of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, and make him known.
