Miriam from The Rock SLC
To be honest, I didn't really enjoy my life as a kid. For most of my childhood, church life, home life, and social life were awful. I grew up feeling ostracized, alone, and angry with God because of it. Although I was very cold to the idea, my husband, Rusty, and I eventually started going to The Rock.. To walk in and be sincerely welcomed was a feeling I could not explain. God began tugging at my heart, and I began letting Him in.
The final barrier fell at the 2007 all-church campout. Seeing so many people from so many different backgrounds (some the same as mine) come together just because of God was literally overwhelming. I finally came to Christ and was baptized there.
Since then, nothing has been the same! Sure, I'm still going through some healing and I know there are many more lessons to learn, but as long as I have God in my life I don't care what it takes! Because I can tell you this: God is real! He is love. He is mercy. I have given Him my heart and my life, and He's got a hold of me. I can't wait for Him to come and take us home!

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
