Rocky Creek Church

Have you heard about the 6 different opportunities we have this year to send out teams on mission trips?

To better prepare and equip mission team participants, we have created an application process to help match people with mission assignments:
1. Apply: You can apply by going to the Missions Page on our website

2. Review: Our staff will review your application, evaluate the team's needs and size, and confirm if there is an open spot

3. Commit: Your commitment is confirmed when you submit a downpayment for your trip

4. Prepare: In the days leading up to your departure, you will receive access to our new missions training to help prepare you both spiritually and practically.

We got to celebrate our first Baptism Sunday of 2024 with 8 people getting baptized!

We have a limited number of spots left for the Marriage Conference next weekend! We are so excited about the number of couples who desire to strengthen their relationship and learn more about how God has designed marriage.

If you haven't registered yet, be sure to do so before registration closes Wednesday.

The start of a new year means we are kicking off our first Sermon Series of the year! We will spend the next few months going through Psalm 119.

The longest chapter in the Bible speaks to our need for all chapters within it. If we desire to live a joyful, God-honoring life, we must be relentlessly dependent upon knowing and applying the Scriptures.

Join us tomorrow at 9, 10:30, 5PM, or you can watch us online!

At Rocky Creek, we are deeply rooted in the call of Matthew 28, where Jesus commissions us to go and make disciples of all nations. In light of that call, we are sending out teams to Panama and Central Asia in May.

The team we send to Panama will be involved in church planting activities such as prayer-walking, evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, and community outreach. We are looking for 20 people to join this team.

For Central Asia, we are looking to build a team of 6 college students and young adults to teach English. This team will have the opportunity to have intentional conversations with unbelievers and work with local fellowships of believers.

The deadline to apply for these two trips is February 1. If you are interested, please fill out an application on the Missions Page of our website.
