Bryan from The Rock Church SLC
I was raised in an abusive home with an alcoholic father, a mother who worked over 60 hours per week to provide for us, and an autistic older brother. My mother is an amazing person and was raised in a Christian church. I knew the basics, but I never had a relationship with Christ. I was fully convinced God did exist, but He apparently didn't want anything to do with me or my family. I came to The Rock as a joke one Saturday in the winter of 2006. Yet I didn't feel like I was at church. I actually felt comfortable. I instantly felt like God put His hand on me for the first time.
Jesus Christ is my Redeemer. He brings me joy because I know how much He loves me. He took my place on a cross and died a death I should have died. He conquered the grave so I can be with Him forever. I didn't earn it - and I definitely don't deserve it - but I humbly accept it. I'm hopeless without Him.

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
