Beliefs and Philosophy

The Rock Spring congregation has taken to heart the United Church of Christ’s “God is Still Speaking” viewpoint.

  • The Rock Spring community features a range of worship, devotional, study, caring, action and small group ministries and programs involving our professional staff and hundreds of volunteers.
  • As a Progressive Christian congregation, we recognize that we must work as a body to care for ourselves and our neighbors as called by the Spirit, and that to our developing understanding of that call will continue to present us with new opportunities for service.  Jesus” commandmant, “Love God with all your being, and love your neighbor as you love yourself, ” is central to our actions.
  • Our congregation understands the importance of each participant in our community finding support in developing spiritual maturity and religious understanding, and in having a community to which to turn at life’s decisive and difficult moments.
  • Rock Spring invites newcomers to join us in hearing and acting on the call of the still-speaking God.
