Christ Centered - Family Focused - Compassionate Ministry
The Rock is committed to the mission of bringing Christ’s love and hope to children and families through compassionate ministry. We accomplish this first by providing for Spiritual needs, proclaiming the Gospel, as well as meeting physical needs & building relationships. The Rock is a seperate nonprofit 501(c)3 established in Rockville, CT & Haiti, and also helps partner with other churches to reach their communities with the love of Christ.
Friday Night Family Dinner & Church Services
Since 1997, Family church has been at the center of our ministry and served as the foundation that the Rock is built upon. We come together Friday nights at 6:30 (Spring & Fall Only) for a great meak & to teach the bible to families in a way that is both exciting and understandable. Skits, puppets, music, storytelling, games, and live teaching all make up a part of our service. Themes like the love of God, who Jesus is, and the Ten Commandments are taught. Hundreds of children call “Rock Church” their home & bring their friends & families each week! Many families become a part of this ministry together as the parents begin to see the change in their children and themselves and desire to give back and reach more people for Christ.


Feeding Programs
For many families having quality food, or even enough food is a challenge, especially when the children are not in school on weekends. We serve a warm, healthy meal for everyone every week. For many, this is the best meal they will get all week. We enjoy the meal together, family style. We are also able to help with much needed food & groceries for families on a weekly basis for their homes. Most importantly, through our visitation, we are able to indentify food security issues in the home and provide for families in need.
Visitation & Transportation
The most important thing we do, aside from prayer, that makes the biggest difference in the lives of children and families is visitation & transportation. Our staff goes out & visits the children & their families, giving us an inside look at the needs in the community we serve which enables us to respond uniquely with the Love of Christ. We also provide transportation to those who need it so that all can be blessed by the ministry. We have seen a direct link between visitation & growth of children & families who are a part of The Rock as well as Spiritual growth of our staff & those we serve. In many ways, the commitment to visitation & transportation is what makes sets The Rock apart from other ministries.


Rock the Streets
Rock the Streets is a sidewalk Sunday School ministry. We do not believe that staying inside the church is what Jesus would have us do, so we go into the streets and parks with the Gospel, and also plays games with the kids and gives away food and clothing to families. A full streetside church service takes place at the end of the day for many to hear the Gospel.
Christmas
At Christmas, The Rock delivers gifts to every child who is a part of the ministry. For some, it may be the only gift they get that year. For most, it is the only reminder that Christmas is all about Christ and becomes the expression of His love through our staff who delivers the gift with the message of Hope in Jesus.


Rock Haiti
Haiti is one of the poorest nations in the world & has been crippled by gang control for years. The Rock partners with a local church in the Village of Bercy, Haiti to provide groceries for families, warm meals for children, and fun filled "Kids Clubs" as well as other outreaches to the community.
