In-person Kids programming is open for birth to 5th grade!
At Rocky, we value our future generations. Raising up children who know Jesus and love like Him is our biggest goal. The relationships and teaching our children gather from our rKids Ministry has a lifelong and eternal impact. Follow us on our Facebook Page to see what your children are learning each week. If you have questions about our special needs weekend program and events, please contact ashleyleach@rocky.church.
We’re so excited to see more families coming back to worship with us! As we see more kiddos coming, we’re finding ourselves needing more volunteers. When we’re able to serve more kids, we can share the news of Jesus with more families. We would love to answer any questions you have about volunteering!
Our Kids team has been working hard to prepare for this summer! We had a blast at epic week last year and would love to invite you back again! Mark your calendars for July 26-29. You won’t want to miss it!
This month, we’re learning about how the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection strengthens us and changes our relationships in the best way. We will learn how: Jesus overcame death. Jesus connects us to each other. Jesus gives encouragement. We are stronger with Jesus.
