Our Story

The Story of The Rock Church

The Rock Church began in 1998 as a small Bible study where six adults and eight children gathered with a shared desire to grow in faith. From the very beginning, our mission has remained unwavering: to make wholehearted followers of Jesus.

Throughout the early years, we met in a variety of locations (from hotels to warehouses!) until we finally settled at our current location in Scarborough, Maine, in 2011. As attendance grew, so did the need for a larger space.

In 2019, an expansion project increased our facility’s size from 7,000 to 20,000 square feet. Through generous giving, we were able to build a spacious new Worship Center, café, additional classrooms, and accessible bathrooms. More than just a building, this transformation marked a renewed commitment to fostering deeper faith, stronger community, and a place where lives could be changed.

As we look to the future, we remain rooted in the mission that has guided us from the beginning. While leadership may change, the heart of the Church remains the same. We are not built around one person, but around the person of Jesus Christ. Our focus is forward—on the Kingdom of God, on lives transformed by grace, and on reaching our community and world with the good news of the Gospel. Our story has just begun.
