About Us
WHY WE EXIST
You can experience a real connection with God and a real connection with people.We meet people where they are, by being relevant, innovative, authentic, and transparent in the presentation of the Bible.
Let’s seize this moment together! At The Rock Church of the Bay Area, we invite you to join us—online or in person—every Sunday at 9am & 11am for a powerful Worship Experience.
We’re here to help you discover what it means to follow Jesus, connect with others, uncover your purpose, and make a real difference in the world. Our heart is for everyone to encounter God in a personal and life-changing way.
Stay connected with us throughout the week on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, or download our app for the latest events, sermons, and updates. At The Rock, we believe that when we live with purpose and walk in God’s Word, we can bring the hope of heaven to our community and beyond.
Come be a part of what God is doing—let’s make an impact together!
Evangelism
We consider reaching people who do not know God personally to be one of our greatest responsibilities. Our weekend worship experiences are for people at all stages in their spiritual journey but are primarily designed for those who do not yet have a genuine relationship with God.
Find Freedom
We believe life change happens in the context of relationships. Groups have one simple purpose: to bring people together. God created us to live in community with others, and only then can we experience the full life He intends for us.
Make A Difference
God created all of us to make a difference in the world around us. God has a place for you where your unique abilities and passions can impact the lives of others. We believe your life will never make sense until you find, develop, and fulfill your purpose.
Discover Your Purpose
Growth Track exists to help you discover and develop your purpose and live the full life God created for you. The Growth Track Curriculum comprises four steps, which guide you through the next steps in your journey to know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.
