Our Mission

Taking the unchanging love of Christ to an ever-changing world. CORE VALUES: Prayer, Care for Leadership, Worship, World-view, Life-giving freedom living, Grace, Missionaries to the City, Simplicity, Empowering People for Ministry, Relevance. Our Core Values help drive the mission of taking the unchanging love of Christ to an ever-changing world and provide guidance as God develops Rockside Church. PRAYER - Simple communication with God, or prayer, is the lifeline that keeps us going at Rockside Church. When we pray, God works. Without prayer, we're just another organization. We pray prior to Sunday services at 9:45 am. WORSHIP - Contemporary and passionate worship creates an environment that welcomes God and helps us connect with Him. In this type of atmosphere, individual needs are met and people are refreshed. RELEVANT MINISTRY - We strive to give practical tools to assist people in the journey of life. What you hear on Sundays is designed to help you in a practical way in your life Monday through Saturday. WORLDVIEW - In the foundation of this church is a passion to help spread the Good News of Christ around the world through giving, sending, praying and going. LIFE-GIVING FREEDOM LIVING - Christ came to prepare us for heaven as well as help us enjoy the journey along the way. A higher quality of life and freedom is what is natural for the person connected with Christ. EMPOWERING PEOPLE FOR MINISTRY - Every follower of Christ is most fulfilled when serving. We strive to equip, support, release and empower every person to serve God. CARE FOR LEADERSHIP - The person of the leader is more important than the work he or she does. Genuine ministry is simply an overflow from the life of a leader that is well cared for and connected to Christ. MISSIONARIES TO THE CITY - We are interested in investing back in to the community. We strive to understand our culture, the language and the needs of our generation and community in order to build bridges of relationship. SIMPLICITY - Less is more when done well and with purpose. We streamline church activities so believers have more time to foster relationships with Christ, their family and the people who need to see God's loved lived out before them. GRACE - Church doesn’t have to be a place where pretending and hiding occur. We offer a place where every person can find love, acceptance, and unmerited favor.

BELIEFS

WE BELIEVE... in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine. WE BELIEVE... though originally good, man willingly fell to sin – ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world. WE BELIEVE... every person can have restored fellowship with God by trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be their personal Savior. WE BELIEVE... and practice two ordinances—(1) water baptism by immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation. WE BELIEVE... the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times. WE BELIEVE... sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christ-like. WE BELIEVE... the Church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the Church' is the Body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE... divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. WE BELIEVE... in The Blessed Hope - when Jesus returns for His Church. At this future moment in time all believers who are alive will be caught up in the air to be with the Lord forever. WE BELIEVE... a final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a literal hell that the Bible calls The Lake of Fire. WE BELIEVE... and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
