FAQs -- Part 2

Already some great questions have come in ... here's today's question:

What denomination is Rock Bridge?

Rock Bridge is a locally autonomous church (which means we are self-governed and that all church decisions are made by church members and staff).  We voluntarily affiliate and cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention for the purpose of missions and extending the message of Christ to the ends of the earth. Through the Southern Baptist Convention we support efforts to reduce world hunger, plant churches in North America, assist during times of disaster, and support missionaries overseas.

On a personal note, I am not much of a "denominations" person.   I think the danger of denominations is that if not careful the focus can drift away from Christ and onto the denomination.  At Rock Bridge our efforts are in helping to connect people to Christ first and foremost, rather than Christ PLUS a denomination.  However, I do believe that there is value in working together and cooperating with other like-minded churches who pool resources and efforts for the cause of Christ.
