Meet The Pastor
Reverend Bob Lenz
Bob is an ordained minister of the Wesleyan Church. Bob accepted the Senior Pastor position at New Rock Church September 2017. Our Vision remains clear, we are a Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:42 church committed to reaching the community for Jesus Christ. We are in the business of our heavenly Fathers business in making disciples that make disciples. Not simply a church that remains bound behind walls. We are not the destination and only the hub. We are committed to reaching the lost, to do all we can, when we can to meet the needs in our community.

Sandy and I feel extremely blessed and thankful that we will serve at New Rock.

This is a church body with an intentional desire to connect and make a difference in our local community through local and global outreach.
