Upon This Rock Campaign
Matthew 16:18
Our Vision
We believe the Lord is leading us to build a worship facility that serves as a vibrant hub for spiritual growth, community connection, and outreach. Our desire is for this building to be a place where lives are transformed by the Holy Spirit—where believers gather to encounter God through worship, teaching, and fellowship, while also equipping ministry leaders. Through this new facility, we aim to further our mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ in the Roanoke Valley and around the world.
