Our Core Values help drive the mission of taking the unchanging love of Christ to an ever-changing world and provide guidance as God develops Rockside Church.

PRAYER - Simple communication with God, or prayer, is the lifeline that keeps us going at Rockside Church. When we pray, God works. Without prayer, we're just another organization. We pray prior to Sunday services at 9:45 am.

WORSHIP - Contemporary and passionate worship creates an environment that welcomes God and helps us connect with Him. In this type of atmosphere, individual needs are met and people are refreshed.

RELEVANT MINISTRY - We strive to give practical tools to assist people in the journey of life. What you hear on Sundays is designed to help you in a practical way in your life Monday through Saturday.

WORLDVIEW - In the foundation of this church is a passion to help spread the Good News of Christ around the world through giving, sending, praying and going.

LIFE-GIVING FREEDOM LIVING - Christ came to prepare us for heaven as well as help us enjoy the journey along the way. A higher quality of life and freedom is what is natural for the person connected with Christ.

EMPOWERING PEOPLE FOR MINISTRY - Every follower of Christ is most fulfilled when serving. We strive to equip, support, release and empower every person to serve God.

CARE FOR LEADERSHIP - The person of the leader is more important than the work he or she does. Genuine ministry is simply an overflow from the life of a leader that is well cared for and connected to Christ.

MISSIONARIES TO THE CITY - We are interested in investing back in to the community. We strive to understand our culture, the language and the needs of our generation and community in order to build bridges of relationship.

SIMPLICITY - Less is more when done well and with purpose. We streamline church activities so believers have more time to foster relationships with Christ, their family and the people who need to see God's loved lived out before them.

GRACE - Church doesn’t have to be a place where pretending and hiding occur. We offer a place where every person can find love, acceptance, and unmerited favor.
