Our vision is to transform the world through the power of the Gospel.
RockFish Church is a Christ-centered, Bible-based, Spirit-led, family focused Christian church. We believe that a great commitment to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission will grow a healthy church. We value God’s word, strong families, unity, ministry, Christ-life change, and reaching out.
Core Beliefs
- The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative written word of God.
- There is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- The only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the precious blood of Christ.
- In the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His vicarious and atoning death, His resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal future return to earth in power and glory.
- Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for personal salvation.
- The baptism by the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 2:4, is given to believers who ask for it.
- The redemptive work of Christ provides healing of the human body in an answer of mercy to believing prayer.
- In the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy, wholesome life.
- That water baptism is the act by which believers are immersed in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the name above all names, Jesus Christ; thereby publicly identifying themselves with Christ.
- All nine gifts of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Cor. 12:4-11 continue to be expressed in the church today and are subject to the order prescribed by scripture.
Values
Love is the greatest of values in the kingdom of God. Love is the observable evidence of the presence of God in the life of a follower. Love is the antidote to a life of mediocrity wasted on the pursuit of me and mine. Love is the image, power, and personality of God shining in a dark world. Love is our great quest!
We will lead by example. We will honor Christ and His church with integrity. If we live with integrity, nothing else matters. If we don’t live with integrity, nothing else matters.
People are not interruptions to your ministry, they are the ministry! People are the point! Jesus never died for a Podcast. Jesus spent the majority of His time building into people. Everyone matters to God and should matter to us. It’s often the little things: Am I growing in treating other staff, volunteers, and members like family.? Am I consistently friendly? Am I growing in demonstrating care, concern, and respect for others? Am I responding to emails and phone calls in a timely manner? Do I show up to meetings on time? Do I get excited making someone else successful?
We will serve the Lord with gladness. Being spiritual doesn’t mean being miserable! Traditionally, church and fun don’t go hand in hand. The next generation will be influenced by Christians who are vibrant, inspirational, confident, and joyful. Life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. Let’s take God seriously, but not ourselves. Lighten up! The joy of the Lord is still our strength.
Flexibility means we say YES to God. We adjust to His way. His time, and His will. Flexibility means we don’t break under pressure, and we spring back quickly from opposition. Flexibility keeps us always ready to help and bring value whenever needed. Flexibility means availability for God and His agenda.
To reach people that no one is reaching, we will have to do things that no one is doing. This means we surround ourselves with people who really believe that “with God all things are possible”. Faith allows us to see beyond the opposition and fearlessly embrace the opportunity. Faith releases the potential of God in every aspect of life. We are people of faith.
We are all “us”. All people are created in the image of God! All people matter to God! There is far too much division in our culture and sadly, in our churches. We believe a unified church could be God’s way of healing the divisions in our community and culture. Racism, discrimination, injustice, and division break the heart of God. We believe diversity is a picture of eternity. We are doing something here on Earth that is in anticipation of what is to come. We begin with the end in mind.
We are forever married to the mission, not the method. Innovation is the ability to remain engaged and effective no matter what change or challenge may arise. Innovation keeps us positioned in the most strategic place for optimal results. Innovation is a powerful key to maintaining relevance in an ever-changing world. We are innovators.
