Family Res. –
The Rock's children's ministry is called The Pebble and serves children, infants through 4th grade. The Pebble serves in partnership with families to develop children into disciples of Jesus. The Pebble provides a variety of programming and age-appropriate activities on Sunday mornings and on Wednesday nights. Children are encouraged to build relationships with others that will, in turn, direct them toward a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Nursery/Early Childhood
Our ministries and programs are staffed by volunteers seeking to impact the lives of boys and girls for Christ. Consistent teaching teams and familiar faces in each classroom provide the children a sense of security and enables them to develop significant relationships with their teachers. The Rock is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all children who participate in our programs. Our volunteers have been carefully screened and are easily identified with blue lanyards and nametags.
