Bekah from The Rock SLC
I moved to Salt Lake City shortly after graduation from high school in order to pursue my dream of competing in the Olympics. My life was lived completely apart from God. At that time, skating was my religion. I used my talent to gain status and to appear successful within my social network. I was also completely skeptical of God. In fact, I hated Him. Just the mention of His name would cause me to disengage from any further conversation about Him.I moved to Salt Lake City shortly after graduation from high school in order to pursue my dream of competing in the Olympics. My life was lived completely apart from; I was also completely skeptical of God. I had exhausted what I thought were all the necessary means for me to find happiness, even to the point of reluctantly going to the last place on earth I ever expected to find peace. But church is exactly where I found it - in the person of Jesus Christ.
I have now been going to The Rock for six years. God allowed me to realize my dream and I was able to proudly represent my country at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, but now I use my skating as a means of worship to God. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take away my condemnation and give me life to the fullest. He is in my heart and lovingly uses my dreams and desires so I can know and love Him, and He personally offers that love and relationship to everyone.
What is The Rock Church? It's a place that God uses to give us back our lives. It's a place where I was saved and continue to grow. It's a place where God changed me from a victim to a conqueror!

2008. The church decided on a model of "one church in two
locations." While each of the five pastors concentrate their
ministry efforts on
Who would have thought that two fathers would be
involved with their college age children in starting a new
campus ministry? It was an answer to prayer. We had been
praying that the Lord would provide an opportunity to continue
laboring in the gospel
