FAMILY WORSHIP
* Nursery available for parents with children 3 and under, no attendant.
* Service is family-preferred meaning all ages worship together. Children are important to our communit
y and are welcomed to join in our praise & worship service, giving, & testimony. Minors may participate in communion if they have accepted Jesus as personal Savior & parents permit. PRAYER MINISTRY
* God is our provider, healer, and deliverer. At the end of most services, we pray for needs by open invitation to come forward for prayer
* The Pastor or a prayer team member will ask about the need and pray with you. We practice "laying on hands" according to scripture, which means that the one praying over you will place a hand on your head, shoulder, or may hold your hand while praying, as the Holy Spirit leads. Going forward (front ministry area) to receive personal ministry gives our prayer team permission to minister in this fashion (i.e. laying hands, anointing with oil, embracing, hand holding) as the Holy Spirit guides or unless you notify us prior to ministry. Ministry Goals: We encourage showing compassion and growing in wisdom. While private prophetic prayers are critically needed, this ministry for the pastoral leadership. Regarding the ministering to others by offering unsolicited counsel and prayer should be a daily ministry directed by God for every Christian. Those ministering at the ROCK do so with pastoral presence or involvement. God directs and prepares our pastors for each unique service through hours of prayer. Anyone desiring a ministry placement is encouraged to commit to weekly Thursday night intercessory prayer. We consider cooperation with the spiritual leadership in a cheerful spirit bedrock to a dynamic, orderly ministry. While there are no positions at the ROCK for self-acclaimed or self-appointed ministries, there is tremendous need for willing laborers with various talents, levels of experience, hunger for God's Word, ability to commit, honor toward leadership & maintaining a peaceful spirit among fellow Christians. The Body of Christ currently has critical shortages of prayer, knowledge of God's Word, and commitment to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The World has a shortage of time and knowledge of their loving Creator. We encourage all Christians to start ministering daily wherever they are and consider time at the ROCK for collective refreshing, fellowshipping, learning, worshipping & intercession.
