Community / The Rock Cares
Cares
The Rock Cares and we want the world to know it.
The Rock Cares includes compassion and outreach ministries in our church in which members of the Rock are currently serving. Most of our Care Coordinators are members of The Rock Church and have been involved in these ministries for years. We partner with these ministries through prayer, volunteering, and sometimes providing financial support. Our desire is to support our brothers and sisters in these ministries by communicating with the church various needs these ministries may have and by giving people an opportunity to get involved.
Throughout the year, we will highlight these ministries and share relevant needs, volunteer opportunities, and ways you can become involved. Please contact Steve McInroy with any questions: mac@trc.life.
You can also check out our The Rock Cares Calendar for upcoming events. If you would like to learn or be part of The Rock Cares ministry, please fill out this form!

Compassion International
Compassion International exists as an advocate for children, to release them from their spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty. They want to help them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. They look after the health, education and welfare of impoverished children and child sponsorship is critical. In a world where more than a billion children live on less than $2 per day, child sponsorship (connecting one child with one sponsor) is the most strategic way to end child poverty. Through monthly financial support, prayer and letter writing, sponsors invest directly in the lives of children. Contact Tim Stephen for more information.

The Lulu Tree
The Lulu Tree’s mission is to prevent tomorrow’s orphans by equipping today’s families (with the greater purpose of becoming one family in Christ). Lulu Tree does this by partnering with pastors and community leaders in villages across Uganda and Sierra Leone. They train them to equip the families in their churches. Their primary goal is to prevent the destructive cycles that keep these communities from thriving. Stateside, we can help Lulu’s mission by packing Mama Kits and encouraging the pastors and members of the Lulu family in Africa. For more information, contact Erica Hale at (801)-651-0189.

Meals
Most of us have been truly blessed when someone brought us a meal during a stressful time in our lives (new baby, surgery, moving to a new home, just to name a few). The Rock Church family loves to serve those in need by providing meals. Even though they are mainly coordinated through our Small Groups, sometimes, they can use a helping hand (and if there is a need outside of a Small Group, we want to know about it)! If you’re interested in having your name added to our database of people willing to take a meal to someone, please contact our Rock Meals Coordinator, Grace Beldock (801) 787-6395.
