Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
– Matthew 28:19a, 20b
Proclaiming the Good News of Jesus and Caring for vulnerable people are high priorities to God and his church. Over the next few months Rockharbor is highlighting ways for us to BE the church. During Missions Month, we will be showcasing the ways Rockharbor is living out these priorities and inviting you to participate in all the ways God is moving locally and globally!
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
– James 1:27
Orphan Care Info Night
Monday, November 2 | 7:30pm
We are meeting tangible needs for children and families through our orphan care ministries. Join us to see what God is already doing and how you can be part of it.
Family | provide a home for a child
Fostering
Whether you provide a child with a short-term stay or longer-term care, your loving home can be an incredibly important stop on their journey — one that leads them to a hopeful, healthy future.
Foster to Adopt
Providing a permanent new home for a child in need is just one of the ways a child can heal from past hurts, and receive the love that they need to thrive.
Safe Families
When you support Olive Crest, you join in an innovative collaboration between area churches, volunteers and child care professionals to support at-risk children and parents in need. When you volunteer, you can have a powerful impact in the lives of others while practicing biblical hospitality and extending the love of Christ to people in need — all from your own home!

Challenge yourself and move from comfortable to uncomfortable on behalf of those we’re supporting.

Political Forum
Thursday, October, 22 | 7:30pm
Politics are complex, but the way of Jesus is simple: love God and love others (Matt. 22:37-40). So how do these intersect? Join us as we host a round table discussion on how we can use Jesus’ teaching and ministry as a biblical framework around politics. This night will consist of a live round table discussion with leaders in our community followed by small group discussions over zoom.
God is inspiring our church through Missions Month to see what he is up to and take steps of obedience to advance his Gospel and his Kingdom. For many, Alpha is a place to step into God’s story and wrestle with big questions in a safe environment. Third Space is another area where we embody the words and love of Jesus – in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everywhere else we step foot. Move boldly with love and invite someone to join you at Alpha or say “yes” to your next-best-step of obedience!

Rescue and Restore Victims
We find enslaved people, bring them to safety and walk alongside them until they are restored.
Bring Criminals to Justice
We relentlessly pursue justice in court. We ensure that traffickers, rapists and other criminals go to jail so they cannot abuse, exploit or enslave others.

We provide training, mentoring and support to police, judges and other community leaders to slow down and stop the cycle of violence.
