He would love to have you join him on his adventure via Facebook, Twitter and his personal blog (click an icon). He tries to do an update once a day, and, he's always adding something encouraging.

He thanks you all for your prayers. Pastor Chris gave everything to the Lord many years ago and is completely at peace with God's promises for him, and for all of us.

We believe that:

• Jesus Christ is the only Savior for man's sins

Please celebrate with us as we worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!

Gary and Paula Hays, missionaries to Thailand, shared about their incredible work with children. To date they've seen over 10,000 kids saved! The Hays' left the corporate world and went to Thailand to learn what God wanted them to do. Everyone was encouraged and inspired as they heard their story.

Church on The Rock has been called a "big little church" because, even though we're a small church, virtually everyone is doing something that directly affects others with the Good News of Jesus Christ. This happens organically, from the hearts of God's servants, as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

Whatever your calling, our heart is to help you thrive in all that God has called you to do, and be.

We have a special heart for helping missionaries and affecting nations, especially in Mongolia. Our Women's Conference (first ever in Mongolia), was filmed by Eagle TV (UB) and became the number two television program in Mongolia! Let us know if you have a heart for missions.

Prison ministry is very important to our church and members visit both men's and women's prisons on a weekly basis. Let us know if you have a heart for those in prison.
