WE ARE A NON-DENOMINATIONAL CHURCH PASSIONATE ABOUT LOVING OTHERS LIKE JESUS
BE WITH JESUS
We refuse to let life’s hurry keep us from God’s presence. Our primary work is simply to stay close to Jesus, knowing we must be with Him before we can become like Him and do what He did.
John 15:5
GO TOGETHER
God calls us to be known, not just noticed. We build authentic relationships where we support and challenge one another. Because growth requires change, we commit to navigating life’s messy seasons side by side rather than walking alone.
Acts 2:42-47
LIVE GENEROUSLY
Everything we have belongs to God and is meant to flow through us, not just to us. We live with open hands with our time, energy, and finances. Because God loves a cheerful giver, we choose to be rich in good deeds, trusting that His supply is always greater than our needs.
2 Corinthians 9:7
MAKE ROOM
We are a church that looks outward. We set aside our own preferences to serve our neighbors and build a culture of invitation for those who aren’t here yet. We actively make room at our tables, in our schedules, and in our gatherings.
Matthew 9:36
EVERYBODY HELPS
Following Jesus requires participation, not observation. As a church family, we step into the actual needs around us. We expect everyone to roll up their sleeves and ask one simple question: “How can I help?”.
Galatians 5:13
BUILD FOR TOMORROW
We think beyond our own lifetimes. We intentionally invest our best time, energy, and resources into kids and students. We know our church’s ultimate success isn’t measured by what we build today, but by the faith we hand off to the generations that follow us.
Psalm 78:4
OUR MISSION: KNOW JESUS AND LOVE LIKE HIM.
Rocky Statement of Faith
While the following list is not an exhaustive list, it does represent the core of who we are and what we believe.
We Believe…
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the creator and ruler of all things, and is the redeemer of mankind.
- Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He died on the cross as a perfect sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins, and God raised Him from the dead on the third day.
- The Holy Spirit is our guide and comforter. He empowers believers to fulfill God’s vision and purpose for their lives.
- People are created by God to have a personal relationship with Him. Sin severs our relationship with God and leaves us in need of rescue.
- Salvation is a gift offered to us by God’s grace apart from any personal work or achievement.
- The appropriate response to God’s grace is to believe, repent, confess, be baptized, and partner our lives deeper with Jesus, His church, and His mission.
- Biblical baptism is by immersion, as practiced and instructed by Jesus and the early church.
- The Bible is the authoritative Word of God, which guides all we say and do.
- We believe the Church is a community of people who know Jesus and love like Him.
1983 – First Christian Church of Longmont (now Lifebridge) asked the Ahlgrim family to launch a new church. At that point, Rocky Mountain Christian Church was just a vague dream. The Ahlgrim’s and their three young children agreed and began the adventure of launching a new church that would one day become the Rocky we know today. With the excitement of First Christian Church and about 150 pioneers, Rocky Mountain Christian Church held its first service in Niwot High School’s auditorium on April 1, 1984.
2012 – Alan Ahlgrim passed the baton on to Shan Moyers as Lead Pastor. A native of Oregon, Shan moved to Colorado in 2004 with his wife Jen and four kids: Grace, Maddie, Jake, and Luke.
2024 – Shan Moyers passed the baton on to Matt Cote as Lead Pastor. Matt and his family have been in Colorado since 2014. Matt has been on staff for the last 10 years leading as the Frederick Campus Pastor.
Today – Rocky has blossomed from a group of people meeting at a high school into one church with multiple locations. We are excited to see what God will continue to do through this church and His people in the years to come!
