An all Affirming Congregation  is one that welcomes Gays into all of the life of the local church, and is gay-friendly, and believes one CAN  be Christian and Gay at the same time, since God created all peoples including Gays.

We accept all people, no matter where on life's journey they are at the moment. If you are seeking for truth and knowledge, and seeking for a closer walk with God, come visit and grow with us.

We believe in the transforming power of the Holy Spirit of God  working in our  hearts, souls, bodies, minds, and in our lives to be more like Jesus. But that process does NOT change our sexual orientation any more then it changes our skin color  or gender. These are some things God will never do, nor have any reason to change.

There are some Affirming Congregations in most denominations today. You have to go to their local church website to find more info.

This is opposed  to churches that are Transforming Congregations, which means one can NOT  be Christian and Gay, but they welcome Gays that are seeking to transform into a "Straight" lifestyle. We believe that view to be an utter impossibility, sinful, and also un-Biblical, and against ALL modern scientific intelligence and information.

Most churches are neither, that is, they ignore gay people of  faith, or else boot  them out from their membership and  churches (which is very sad and very un-Christ-like).

YOU are ALL welcome at
The Rock MCC church!


May "trouble makers" be changed by the power of God even before they pass by our church property, before they enter the front door of our church building!

Visit us this Sunday!
May God Bless You All
in the Name of Jesus!

These are the folks who run the local daily business side of our church.  All are welcome to attend board meetings and to have input into the process Your suggestions and  comments will be considered in up coming meetings This is your church board of directors and they will listen to you.

Each board member is also a liaison to one or more of the church team ministries as listed under Ministries where their picture is posted on that team ministry page.
Notice that one can not be a board member and a team ministry leader at the same time;  that is why there are some team ministry leader positions openings.

Church Board of Directors Meetings are held monthly on the third or fourth Sunday, or when ever needed.  Anyone who has New Business to discuss during the Sunday afternoon BOD meeting, please write them down on paper and place a copy of it in the BOD members mailboxes on the Sunday before the BOD meeting.  This is a newly changed rule to help with meeting duration and flow.  All BOD members are urged to check their mailbox after the evening service as there may be those who only attend the evening service and have items for new business.  This way everyone will be prepared for the BOD meeting and aware of topics for discussion.
[NOTE: Tracy writes: "Please send all 'New Business' from anyone who has any new church business, to earthtracy@aol.com (Tracy Brown) by Sunday, 05-11-08 as well as 'Team Reports' from all Team Ministries Leaders."] Next board meeting is Sunday, May 25, at 1 PM at the church.

Two Church Congregational Meetings are held each year, one in the Spring and the other in the Fall, or when ever needed.  This is the type of meeting where the church as a whole makes decisions, votes, and elects.  There is an agenda and items to vote on.  This is the time when church board members are elected, and other local business taken care of.  Local church members only may vote, but all may attend and have their input into the process. This is like being a part of The Lord's Legislature, so to speak.
