Leadership Team

Our staff is made up of a diverse group of people with an array of gifts that bless our church, yet what is most important is that we are all bound by what we have in common—a passion for Jesus and a love for His church. We’re all excited to celebrate what God has done at The Rock of Gainesville and we look forward to what He is continuing to do in our city!
