Vision and Mission Statement

The vision of the Rock Church is to be a powerful evangelistic force that engages every segment of society as a motivated army of believers in Jesus Christ. We are wholeheartedly committed to using our gifts anywhere at any time to share the gospel while influencing and transforming our culture. This force will evangelize San Diego and empower other churches to use this ministry model around the world.

The mission of the Rock Church is to save, equip, and send out soul-winners for Jesus Christ.

God's Word is True

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Because God is infallible, we believe His Word is accurate and true from beginning to end. God reveals Himself to us, increases our faith, and directs our lives through His dynamic and living Word.

The Trinity

The Bible teaches that there is only one God who exists in three separate persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. This doctrine is called the Trinity, and we believe that we can know each person of the Trinity in a personal way.

We believe that God the Father is the source of all creation. He sent His Son Jesus to earth to be our Savior. Throughout the gospels, Jesus glorifies the Father, communes with the Father through prayer, acts according to the Father's will, and claims unity with the Father.

We believe that Jesus is the Son of God as He claimed to be. He was both fully God and fully human. He was born to a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed many miracles, gave direction to His followers, and willingly laid down His life on a cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He died and was buried. On the third day, He was raised to life and appeared to over 500 people during a period of 40 days before ascending to Heaven. We believe He will come again to earth in power and glory.

We believe that the Holy Spirit is sent by Jesus to dwell in the hearts of all believers to teach us, guide us, and empower us to use the gifts and talents we have been given. With the Holy Spirit's help, we are able to know the true God, spread His love to others, and carry out His purposes for our lives.

Believe, Repent, and Be Baptized

Baptism is the demonstration of one's decision to follow Christ

We believe that God created the human race to have fellowship with Him, but that our sin separates us from Him, who is holy and righteous. God loves us so much that He provided the way to restore our relationship with Him. As was prophesied throughout the Old Testament of the Bible, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth to redeem us by dying for our sins.

Jesus declared that no one comes to the Father except through Him. We believe that repentance from sin and belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to be saved from eternal judgment for our sin.

The Rock Church also believes in the practice of water baptism and the regular sharing of communion as demonstrations of our faith in Christ.
