The
Rock lives for Jesus as a
community within the
community, our heart beat is
loving people, and seeing
lives transformed to live in the reality of Gods Kingdom.
There are many people in
Australia and in fact
worldwide that call themselves
Christian, they identify
themselves as being
Christian either by the
family they belong to or by
the organization they may
attend on the odd occasion.
Jesus claimed that the way
we will know that we are
Christians, that is like
Christ is when we are born
again, that is by birth by
the spirit.
John 3:3-7 "I tell you the
truth, no one can see the
kingdom of God unless he is
born again... Flesh gives
birth to flesh, but the
Spirit gives birth to
spirit. You should not be
surprised at my saying, 'You
must be born again.'"
To be Christ like as the
scripture intends and
illustrates is the essence
of our passion and pursuit
at COTR.
Our Beginnings
The Rock began in 2001 under the direction of Pastor Royce Franklin,
Royce heard the call of God to pioneer a new church in the community of
Werrington Sydney NSW. The Rock began to meet every Sunday with four families
in the living room of Pastor Royce and wonderful wife Doris(Doll) it soon grew
into a vibrant church community.
In 2004 with Pastors Martin and Georgina the Rock entered a new and
exciting season and recently in August 2008 the Rock moved into it's new location
and building. The Rock is alive and growing with an emphasis on Shepherding our community.
