Rock Church & World Outreach

This is a rare church. I have been going there for over ten years and I am amazed when I see the thousands of people who get fed every week, I watch people who need to get their high school diploma participate in the GED classes, I have been at the park in San Bernardino and watched hundreds of kids get their school supplies for the upcoming school year, I know families that have been encouraged through the special needs ministry and others who take part in the deaf, prison, convalescent, marraige, alcohol and multiple ministries that are offered free to the community.
I never thought I would ever be part of a church, but I'm glad that I am a part of this one. I am happy that I have pastors who aren't broke and that are a success in business outside of the church.

Pros: A great example of what a Christian church should be.

Cons: Traffic, leaving after service.

I had attended a church in Yucaipa for a few years, and then I was invited to the Rock. This church IS NOT fake or phony!!! The pastors LOVE the city, and the people in it. I have never seen a Pastor get on his knees at the pulpit to pray before he preaches. He also asks God to bless all the other churches, and EVEN names them by NAME. These pastors obviously do not feel threatened.
They preach straight from the Bible, and it is so simple even a child can understand the message. I don't know where people think that the Pastors talk down to people. Obviously, (the other reviewer) thinks he is BETTER than other people who go there. I am so sorry he misses the points of the messages, and the love that comes from the shepherds hearts.
The music is absolutely wonderful!!! The worship teams brings the flock into the presence of God so that we may worship together in one accord as the Bible commands. A church this size takes a lot of money to run it, and I know they sold a sailboat that was given to them, and they donated the money to the church.
I love going to the Rock, especially as I work 80 hours a week, and the Saturday morning service is perfect for me. I would invite everyone who is looking for a home church to come here, and feel the presence of God in this place.
I haven't eaten in the cafe yet, or visited the bookstore yet, and I don't know many people there, but I DO KNOW that Jesus Christ is in this place. Blessings, Jim & Debra...the Inland Empire SHALL BE SAVED!!!!

Pros: Pastors love Jesus and preach the Bible.

Cons: Can't really think of any.

The pastor and wife look like TELEVANGELISTS! How can someone expect to be seen as genuine when they're disgusting examples of tan and plastic people throwing up a workbook from the christian bookstore and calling it fellowship and christlike.

I suggest this church for any and all who would like a taste of arrogance and stuck up celebrity tanned judgmental people who try to guilt you into donating all your money. They seemed to think we were all stupid, in the 5th grade, with the way they talked down to us.

The neighborhood is ugly and the homeless roam the streets. I saw one looking into a car that was not theirs the other day on the way to the Rock. I feel bad for the residents who have to put up with the traffic. Foot and car. I wonder how many of these homeless people LIVE ther ein the neighborhood now b/c of the promotion of laziness by giving stuff away.

Money.
Money.
Money.

It looks like your money is going to their big mansion they always brag that GOD gave them. God only gave them gullible guilty people who pay the property taxes.

It's a shame these who res get a tax write off.

Pros: Free stuff

Cons: you have to hang out with smelly lowlifes who scare you, traffic

Holy father, we profess this day to you, that we have come into the the inheritance which you swore to give us. We are in the land which you have provided for us in Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of Almighty God. We were sinners serving Satan; he was our god. But we called upon the Name of Jesus and you heard our cry and delivered us from the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of Your dear son.

Jesus, as our lord and High Priest, we bring the first fruits of our income to You, that you may worship the Lord our God with them. Father, we rejoice in all the good which You have given to us and our households. We have heard Your voice and have done according to all that You have commanded us.

Now Father, as You look down from Your holy habitation from Heaven, to bless us as You said in Your Word, we believe that we now receive those blessings according to Your Word, This is our confession of faith.

IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

Pros: Thumbs up
