“So what’s your church all about?” At Rock Bridge, we hope you have been asked this question before. If so, what did you say? Maybe you’re a Rock Bridge pro, and you knocked it out of the park! Or maybe you’re new to our church, and you didn’t quite know what to say. That’s OK! That’s why we wanted to give you some handlebars, not to memorize necessarily, but internalize to help you talk to people about Rock Bridge and ultimately Jesus!

So we asked ourselves that question. If we were chatting with someone in an elevator, or while standing in line at the grocery store, or even on Facebook, what would we tell them about Rock Bridge? Here’s what we came up with.

Our vision since 2002 has been to connect people from all walks of life to a life with Jesus by helping them become His passionate followers. We have a holy discontent for anyone to be disconnected from Jesus, His Kingdom, and His Kingdom community--the local church. Therefore, we see ourselves as ‘bridge-builders’, seeking to close gaps and barriers that hide Jesus from people: gaps created by legalism and condemnation, confusing traditions, grace-less teaching, unfriendly environments, mediocre ministry, and one-hour-a-week Christianity.

We see ourselves as ‘Kingdom-seekers’: people passionately committed to inviting people to church with us, offering tangible hope to those in hopeless situations, and demonstrating the Kingdom of Jesus in our communities and the world. We envision thousands of people in northwest Georgia experiencing life in Christ, growing in love for God and others, while living in His Kingdom and living sent to those outside of it!
