Matthew Roland: Though I only spent less than a year under his preaching, I cannot overstate the influence Pastor Shane Watkins has had on my life, both in his teaching and the example he set in his everyday interactions. There is a goldmine of biblical wisdom here, for those who earnestly seek to grow more conformed to the image of Christ, in addition to a wonderful group of fellow Believers, from whom I have benefited immensely in my walk with the Lord Jesus Christ. If you find yourself looking for a church in this area, I cannot think of one which I could more heartily recommend!
Isaac Reyes: First time visiting this group of lovely people on Pentecost Sunday. The parking lot was full cars on a gravel road. We were able to hear the music playing from the outside. The entrance displays a large marble like rock sign with the words “The Rock” with golden letters. As we walked to the front door a tall man opened the door for us and welcomed us warmly. Their were two restrooms and a water fountain for visitors and members as you walk inside. The man guided us through the double doors and gave us a seat. The church was booming. They were men and woman running, shouting, clapping and dancing, raising of hands and praying.
I sure did feel that sweet feeling of Jesus when walking in. I could not contain myself and I had to raise my hands up to JESUS before taking a seat. All we could do was pray and weep as the music continued to play. The pastor reached the pulpit and began to preach on the subject “Pentecost is holding back judgment”. I could not contain myself to repentance by the end of the message. We witnessed a baptism at end of the service and what a beautiful moment that was. Got to greet the pastor and his ministers at the end of the service and they were very kind and humble people. They had a Photo Booth at the end of the sanctuary near the door to exit. We took a family picture and said to ourselves; “we will certainly be coming back when in the area again”. Our grandma who came with us had also enjoyed herself here; calling it home. The people are diverse and friendly. If you have been on the fence of visiting this place. Try visiting it sometime. You won’t regret it.
