Our Vision Statements

What do we look like as a church?

We believe that the church is not identified as four walls and a steeple, but as the people of God placed in every community in which they live, therefore:

"Rock of Hope Baptist Church is a fun-loving, multi-cultural. Holy Spirit led community, reaching people locally, regionally and globally, prayerfully growing in a relationship with Jesus Christ."


Our Mission Statement


Why exist as a church

As the Church we live our lives to exalt person of Jesus Christ in all we think, say and do and invite all people to do the same. We find ways to embrace people where they are and continue to love them through their journey with Christ. We enjoy our walk with God and our walk with one another. We intentionally engage with our community and the world to have a voice in the market conversations of our times. We strive to be equipped in order to accomplish the work set before us as ambassadors of Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
