The Rock, A Christian Church

My husband and I came to this church around fall of 2011. We had come from a larger church and were looking for a more intimate experience. We also were looking for leaders that were not afraid to speak the truth in order to not offend people. We were nervous at first, but once we got there we found the people to be loving and committed to God. I really enjoy coming and thankful we found a place where we could feel like family.

My wife Sarah and I were both born into the mormon church, but by the grace of God we learned the truth of the bible and are no longer part of mormonism. When we left the mormon church we ended up in a really big church. We grew there, but something was missing and we didn’t quite know what it was. God was definitely stirring our hearts to look somewhere else for a place where the truth of scripture was preached no matter the cost. Having been the victims of deception and cult-​life for many years, we needed a place that was committed to the truth. We looked, and looked and eventually we found the Rock. We have been here for 2 years now. Here are some of the reasons we have stayed:
–The authority of the bible is upheld above ideas, traditions, and personal opinion. All of the bible is preached; including the passages that are not culturally «popular.» It is also a safe place to wrestle with the truth of God in a way that builds up and brings us closer to the Lord.
–Pastor Chris, the elders, and the leadership here have a real vision of what truly being a family of God means, and what it is to be ambassadors of the gospel. They are not perfect by a long shot, but I have found that they are humble, and that their greatest hope is to bring others to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
–Real life change, true repentance and discipleship is encouraged and taught as a natural outpouring of the grace we have been given in Christ. It is hard to remain a long-​time pew-​sitter at the Rock. Faith working through love is the name of the game here.
–The atmosphere is warm, loving, and accepting. Ever get a fake hug, compliment or smile and it feels super awkward? That doesn’t happen often at the Rock. I have been blown away by the genuine care and love that my wife and I have received since coming here. We can truly call these people family. Disagreements and troubles will come I’m sure, but these people are worth fighting for.
–Jesus Christ is exalted as Lord and God above the pastor, the leadership, the music, the programs, and everything else. He is truly King here, and that is how it should be.
If you are looking for a place where God and His word are the first priority; a place where grace is the motivating power behind repentance and holiness; a place where sacrifice, service, and love are the goal… Then come and join us as we worship our Great God and Savior by making disciples of all nations!

The Rock is a Christian church were the focus is on relationships NOT religion. The people at The Rock are authentic and will be the first to share their imperfections as they strive to share God’s love with others. If you are looking for real relationships and teachings from the scriptures then I encourage you to visit The Rock, you just might find a new home and family.

This is my home away from home. I absolutely love my church family. From the moment I stepped through the doors here at The Rock I’ve felt nothing but love and a sense of belonging. If you want to experience the amazing love of Jesus Christ, this is the church to come to.

Amazing Family… Is the best way to describe this church. It is home for me now. Whether you have known the love of an earthly father or that has been something you have always longed for, you have a Heavenly Father who loves you and that love is shared through the partners of The Rock. I grew up going to church but never really learned what it was to have a relationship with Jesus until I came here. At The Rock, there is a focus on people! They are what lasts forever and though our relationships with them, we discover who God is and how much He loves you. If you long for relationships and want to learn about what the Bible teaches, this is the place for you. For me, this church is home.

Love love love… that is the one word that I would use to describe what this church makes me feel! It is very hard these days to find a church that actually shows the love that god has for us and this church shows it! It is growing and new which I love. They make you feel so welcomed right away and comfortable! They have so many nights a week to fellowship and events that they do throughout the month. Its simple, intimate, and welcoming. You want to fellowship with real people that love Christ then this is the place to be!

The Rock is a warm, friendly church with a family feel. The worship is fresh and dynamic. My kids really enjoy the children’s ministry and my husband and I are continually learning and challenged by the scripture based messages.
The Rock is a church that we look forward to attending each week.

Of course I love this church. I wouldn’t work here if I didn’t, not to mention attend. However, it goes much deeper than employment. The people here are genuine in their faith walk. It is a place where we can be real — the good, bad and ugly parts of it — and still be loved while not being judged. We share life together and help one another grow.
The message sermons are relevant to modern day. I love the way Pastor Chris takes the ancient scriptures and brings them to life current day and helps us apply the truth to our lives. Our Small Gatherings (weekly Bible studies) also help us dive deeper in what was shared on Sundays and brings it personally home for each individual. It is amazing to see lives changing as each embraces and lives out the truth.
Genuine relationships are shared and developed here. It is definitely a place I call my family. I love serving alongside everyone.
The glory of the Lord is evident in the people of The Rock. If you are looking for a church that is unlike any other (and I know many claim this), this is absolutely the place. You will feel the love of Christ both vertically and horizontally through the people.

Same church, new location =) A little shout out love for my church! The Rock kind of reminds me of the Cheers theme song…“Where Everybody Knows Your Name.” A church where you can’t walk in and out without being noticed and in a good way… trust me I tried escaping unnoticed the first time I visited… it didn’t work =) It’s a real environment with real people… and most of all we support each other when life gets difficult. God has shown us what it means to love… and in return it pours out of the people at the Rock…
Pastor Chris Tong shares messages from the Scripture but makes it real by sharing his life experiences. The Rock is all about reaching and helping the community… Each year, we put on a community BBQ event Memorial Day weekend and each month we feed the homeless at Ethel Pearson Park. We also have donated groceries from a local store available for those in need or to take to bless others in need. If you’re new to the area and interested in finding a community/​family of believers, come check us out! You won’t leave without receiving at least one hug =)

First I have not been a part of this church family since 2012. I moved to VA. However, when I first arrived in 2008 after visiting many churches in the area. I felt this is where I want to take my family for a few reasons. 1) It was close to home. 2.) It was a small and intimate setting 3) It is not a modern, prosperity church like most. 4) They offered to move me to my new home for free, despite I may not EVER join their congregation. Why? Because they just wanted to love and bless my family.
So I gave «The Rock» a chance. I am glad I did. I miss my family there, and I mean family. There is soo much many of us went through and we were there for each other. Just looking back at our Small Groups. Just how diversified we were, and how real we were with each other. When it was fight night or birthday night. When anyone n the church needed something, even if we didn’t know them that well, everyone pulled together for Christ to love, bless, and encourage.
AS for worship. Honestly, for me it wasn’t all that and I wished they didn’t play so much rockish worship. Otherwise it was a descent mix, and I sang my non singing voice to the Lord nonetheless. How it is now, IDK. But worship is far more than music. It is how we live our lives. How we represent Christ with our lives is true worship. How God got glorified by his body is what is taught here. Worship through music is just one form while at the Large Gathering (church Sundays).
The service itself was great! Good word, I was never bored. Trust me once I sit, I fall asleep easy!
To see my family out of Judithe Steele will be so different, yet I thank God that through their faithfulness, they can move to a better location. Man I almost bought house right next to that high school too. Whenever I visit Vegas, my home, I will always visit my friends at the Rock. I thank God and PC for the opportunity to serve and lead there. May the Lord send more laborers there to do His work through them…
Check this place out. Have coffee with the pastor Chris or another leader. They insist. In fact meeting with one another to fellowship, break bread, discipleship, or just to do it is a way of life there! Miss you guys!!!

Me & my family are from the Bay Area & it’s almost been a year since moving here to Vegas. I was searching online via Unilocal, looking for a church in our area. The Rock struck my attention because one of the previous reviews expressed that this church was filled with GENUINE people who love Jesus.
I’m thankful to God that He guided me towards this church. Pastor Chris & his wife Vicki Lynn have always been there for me & my hubby. Without going into personal detail; Life still gets rough: Marriage, Kids, Work, and as much as I tend to runaway & isolate, I still come back to the Rock & back to LOVING OPEN ARMS FROM GENUINE PEOPLE WHO TRULY, TRULY CARE about me, my husband, my family! It’s not just Pastor Chris & Vicki Lynn… but all the servants that are there doing Jesus’ work.
There’s no judgement at the Rock…& when you see this church you will notice that it is diverse! Different people from different backgrounds, young & old;
helping each other stay plugged into Jesus because we all know how tough this world gets.
As many times as I’ve isolated because of personal issues, Vicki Lynn is ALWAYS there to give me a call; asking how I’m doing, if I needed anything, & most importantly… to be my prayer warrior when I wanted to give up!!! ;’)
Jesus’ love is present in this place!
