Before Church on the Rock I was in a lost state, no purpose, couldn’t feel love, and wasn’t able to trust people due to past hurts and trauma. A friend invited me to the Young Adults ministry Inspire. I felt the presence of God and the warmth of his love there and the next week few weeks I came to morning services, rededicated my life, and joined!
Church on the Rock is truly about growth and legacy. I have never been in an environment where not only could I grow, but continue growing, because of the seeds of the Word being planted in my heart and people truly LIVING IT. I want those who come here to experience that empowering, overcoming, abundant life despite anything in their past.
To me, the Legacy of COTR means changing generations. Change starts somewhere and I am grateful to have Pastors who are humble and full of God’s wisdom by the Spirit, who adjust and lead well no matter the circumstances. Their example has impacted me to pursue growth, change, and humility in every area of life. People empowering people to change the world!
and if not COTR, then at least to a vision and desire for a relationship with God, and the intention to seek His house no matter where they go.
At COTR, I have found my purpose and calling to attend SEU to pursue Counseling. The best way to leave a legacy is God's way. Letting people know that whatever the circumstance, God is for them. When the Word says “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me,” I believe that. COTR has helped me to make that my life’s goal through counseling.
