OUR MISSION: MAKE HEAVEN FULL
Rock City is a church that is radically committed to living out the heart of God in our cities and around the world. And we would go to any length to ensure that you know God loves you and has a plan and a purpose for your life.
OUR STORY
Led by Pastor Chad and his wife Katie, a small group moved to Columbus in 2010 with dream and a belief that God was up to something pretty spectacular. The team met regularly to pray for and plan for the launch of a new church in the heart of Columbus. On April 3, 2011, Rock City Church hosted its first public worship experience with 430 people in attendance. Ten years later, Rock City has become one of the fastest-growing churches in America, and, today, thousands of people worship together in-person and virtually at Rock City locations across the state and beyond.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe that there is one God and that by Him all things are created. He is all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present, unchanging, perfect, completely worthy of our trust and, above all, holy. God is completely good, loving, compassionate and faithful to His people and His promises. (Deut 32:39; 1 Sam 2:2; Is 44:8; Mark 12:32; Luke 18:19; 1 Cor 8:6; 12:18)
We believe that Jesus, being in nature God, born of a virgin, gave up His divine privileges and left the comfort of heaven, taking on the humble position of a servant, to be born into the chaos and corruption of fallen humanity. He lived innocently, died unjustly and rose again to conquer sin and death, providing a way for man to be eternally reconciled to God. (John 1:1, 14, 20:28; 1 Tim 3:16; Is 9:6; Phil 1:21-23, 2:5-6, 3:21; 1 Tim 2:5; Matt 1:18, 23-25; Luke 1:27-35, 24:16, 36, 39; Is 7:14, 1 John 1:7; Rev 1:5, 5:9; Col 1:20; Rom 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; John 1:29; 2:19-21, 20:26-28, 21:4; Acts 24:15; 1 Cor 15:42, 44)
We believe that the Holy Spirit is God’s presence with mankind and convicts all people of sin. For believers, the Spirit renews the soul, empowers Christ-like living, imparts spiritual gifts and guides people into all truth. (Joel 2:28-29; Matt 3:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 1:5, 2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6; Heb 2:4; Rom 1:11, 12:4-8; Eph 4:16; 2 Tim 1:5-16, 4:14; 1 Cor 12:1-31, 14:1-40; 1 Pet 4:10)
