River Rock Fellowship… a local church that has been going for about 3 years decided Wednesday to join with Antioch!!
The church merge doesn’t change the structure of Antioch at all, but it does grow the church family with a great group of people, several new leaders and one full time pastor who will come on staff at Antioch as the “Associate Pastor.”
The decision was a strategic one (there was nothing amiss at River Rock) and I have been tremendously impressed by the caliber of people that were in leadership at their church.
It’s been in the works for several months and it’d take too long to type out all the “God stories” that have happened during that time. It’s truly one of those things that seems to have God’s fingerprints all over it!!
What else can I say?? We’re all family now and I think it’s going to be a fun ride :)
SOOOOOOO stoked!!!! What a blessing to have River Rock join us! Fun times ahead, indeed. :)
The “God Stories” are the best part! To see God at work is exciting, invigorating and faith building! Perhaps you can slip a few in here or on Sunday. Good stuff!
That’s so exciting! I hope you have room for two more starting in another week. Our leadership has also blessed our going to Antioch. Can hardly wait to get to know everyone!
