Why We Exist
We’re here to help people Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their Purpose, and Make a Difference.
Whether you're new to church, have been a Christian for many years, or are looking for a fresh start, you're welcome here. Our hope is to give you a place where you experience a fresh, enjoyable connection to God and a community of people.
We believe every believer is called into the community God has for them. We also believe each believer is called to grow and mature in their understanding of Jesus Christ.
Know God
God wants to know us personally. More than just practicing religion, He wants a relationship with us. Our Sunday services are where we focus on that relationship. Whether you’re new to faith, have questions, or have been a Christ follower for a long time, our services are a safe place to learn more about what it means to know God and grow closer to Him.
Discover Purpose
We’re all an important part of God’s plan, and our life will never make sense until we discover our purpose. Growth Track is designed to help us take steps in the important process of discovering our purpose.
Find Freedom
One of the ways God designed for us to live in freedom is to have people in our life to help us in the journey. Connecting with others in Connect Groups is a practical and enjoyable way to find that kind of life-changing community.
Make a Difference
This is God’s ultimate plan for our life—to make a difference in the lives of others. When we do, the Bible tells us we will experience joy. Through our Serve Team, we hope to connect every person to an opportunity to live out their calling by using their gifts and talents to serve others in the church and the community.
The Rock of Gainesville Story
Sent from The Rock of Panama City, Pastors George and Suzanne came with their three young sons and a vision in their hearts to birth a church in Gainesville, FL. On Labor Day weekend in 1987, The Rock of Gainesville was established. From the very beginning, Pastors George and Suzanne knew they were to commit to living out the rest of their lives in this city.
With a great passion to love God and love people, Pastor George set out to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in an unrelenting, unwavering, uncompromising way. Through this, Pastors George and Suzanne have encouraged this body of believers to be faithful to pray and obey, serve those in need, seek and save the lost, and be a family, not a crowd.
By God’s grace and mercy, The Rock has become a selfless church that loves its city and the world at large. With numerous local partnerships and missions work throughout the world, The Rock has pursued leaving a legacy to the glory of God.
