Opening our doors in January 1999, The Rock is a church for people seeking an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. We're on a journey together--growing in our understanding of the Bible and our role within the family of Christ. Most of us are single twenty-somethings, though some of us are thirty or fourty-somethings. We've got a lot of young married couples and a few young families. We prefer meeting on Friday nights instead of Sunday mornings. We don't worry about keeping up appearances; we're just trying to be ourselves and develop authentic relationships with others.
We offer youth ministry programs including Nursery for infants and classes for pre-school through 6th grade children. Visit the Youth page to learn more about our programs. All of our youth ministry volunteers are trained and committed to the spiritual growth of your children.
The Rock is located at 5501 Chicago Ave., Minneapolis, MN.
Join us at our new home on 55th and Chicago Avenue in South Minneapolis starting Friday, September 10th, 2010. We are sharing a building with our sister church, The Urban Refuge. 5501 Chicago Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55417.
