The Vision of Rock Church Bradford
Rock Church Family
Welcome to the Rock Church, Bradford. We are a multicultural church with a heart for God and, indeed, the city of Bradford and Beyond! We are a growing family church where everyone is welcome.
We have approximately 140 people who now call the Rock Church their Church family!
We have around 100 adults and 30-40 youth from 0 to 18.
We love to worship God with high praise and lift His name high!!
We have three groups which meet on a Sunday. We have a room for pre-school 0-3, which has just been newly created.
We have a group for primary school 4-10 and a youth group for high school students 11-16
We also have a youth Alpha, which meets monthly, and our youth go to a Summer Camp called Limitless in August.
We have lots of things going on in the life of our church, and please know that you are always welcome.
What is our vision as a church?…
Where are we going?..
Why not come and join the Rock Revolution? We love Jesus and seek to honour him in all we do.
“What God can do for you, He can do through you.”
There are two aspects to our local vision at The Rock Church, Bradford.
At the Rock, we have a “Home leg” to our vision that involves reaching out to our local community. We do this in various ways, not least through our Bamboo Connect Café, which is now open every Friday.
We also have a meal together once monthly after our church service and have various outreach events/BBQs throughout the year. We aim to do a significant outreach event every three months!
The Rock Centre
It’s been exciting seeing the ongoing refurbishment and the re-purposing of “The Rock Centre”, a dual space for the community that hosts our Bamboo café and, indeed, a bespoke area for the Rock youth!
Church
We also have an “Away leg” to our vision, including planting more Rock churches around three hubs throughout the UK. Our shared vision is to have ten expressions of the church around the UK by 2030.
- Rock Midlands
- Rock North
- Rock South
We do not fully know how this will look or where all the churches will be. However, we sense that each region will have a central church hub of significance, which will act as a resource to other local churches in its given area.
Rock family churches
There will also be “Rock” relating churches that will be fully independent yet part of our wider family for encouragement, teaching and relationship.
Church planting
As well as this, we will have churches we will look to plant in some of the key cities in the UK & or repurpose under the Rock church name and banner.
Rock churches will be resourced with regular training, local conferences, and broader national conferences. Shorter day and weekend conferences will also be held around the various regions. This will help strengthen our relationships and ensure the local church leader is well-supported.
At the conferences, we have experienced church leaders of significance and integrity who will bring messages of faith, challenge & hope -and indeed, encouragement so that we leave conferences inspired by Jesus to make a difference where we serve.
We have four national conferences per year. As well as regional training days to augment the broader conferences.
Please take a look at photos from our most recent conference, “Ignite” held in September 2023. Speakers included Ian Evans from Rock Central, Steve Campbell from C3 Cambridge, and our team.
We also have our ladies’ conference with keynote speaker Jo Hargreaves in June. It will be an event of service to the ladies in our lives.
