What's
The Rock Secret?
Why do 93% of the people who regularly attend
the Rock say they are categorically more whole than they were six months
ago? We believe our "Seven Rock
Values" are the key! Prior to planting the Rock of Roseviille in October
of 1997, Pastor Francis and Suzie Anfuso had ministered in hundreds of churches
over a twenty year period. The proven qualities found in the healthiest churches
they visited became what are now known as the "Seven Rock Values." Rock Value #1
Gratitude & Joy
Being GRATEFUL & JOYFUL for God's Love (Nehemiah
8:10) Jesus said the way to tell a real Christian is by their fruit. Gratitude
is the first indication we understand and appreciate what Jesus did on the
Cross. The outgrowth of this revelation will be a life of overflowing joy
in the Lord. Rock Value #2
Wholeness
WHOLENESS in Every Part of My Life (Colossians 2:10)
Colossians 2:9-10 says, "...you are complete in Him." The word "complete" is
the Greek word "pleroo". It is translated as "satisfied,
finished, filled up, fulfilled, made full and perfected". Jesus has
called every believer to be completely "whole", in spirit, soul
and body. Rock Value #3
Destiny
Fulfilling My DESTINY, and Helping Others Fulfill Theirs (Jeremiah 29:11) Most people live as if they have NO destiny. Ecclesiastes
3:11 says, "God
has made everything beautiful for its own time." Everything includes
you! Surrender your heart to God and He'll make your life beautiful. It's
His destiny for you. Rock Value #4
Giving
"
GIVING" and not "Taking" ( Proverbs 11:24) If everybody gives, we can go anywhere God calls us to go and do anything
God calls us to do. Since the inception of The Rock, over 90% of its members
have been faithful to give of their Time, Talents, and Treasures to the Lord. Rock Value #5
Serving
SERVING God and Others - Out of Love - (Mark 9:35) In many churches, there is the "80/20 Rule".
20% of the congregation does 80% of the serving in the church body. Every
person who attends The
Rock is asked to serve in at least one area. This has led to an incredible
atmosphere of love and care for one another, with over 90% of the Rock body
serving at any given time.
Rock Value #6
Honoring
HONORING God & Other People (1 Corinthians 12:26)
People don't honor one another for 4 reasons:
1). They're IGNORANT of each other's value.
2). They're INSECURE about their own value.
3).
They're SELFISH: "t's all about me".
4).
They're LAZY: "It
takes too much effort". At The Rock we don't take
people for granted.
Rock Value #7
Accountability
Personal ACCOUNTABILITY in My Spiritual Life
(Hebrews
3:13)
We live in a culture which emphasizes "Individual Rights".
while ignoring "Individual Responsibility". Who in
your life is willing to speak the hard things to you? We all
need someone who will pray for us, and when needed, speak the
truth in love.
