WHO WE ARE
We are a Bible-believing, multi-generational church that blends both traditional and modern elements in our worship. We learn from the wisdom of our lively seniors and grow with the fresh ideas of our students and young adults. We are from all over the Caribbean, U.S., U.K. and beyond. You'll hear many beautiful accents and languages.
We're committed to Christ and service through many ministries including community services, homeless care, a powerful daily prayer line, a kids mentorship program, and much more.
The heart of Solid Rock is community- when you walk through the doors of our church, you walk into family - where you can leave isolation behind and find genuine friendship, purpose, lifelong friends for your kids, and powerful teaching from God's Word that will transform your daily walk with Christ.
OUR MISSION
To share the love of Christ in a unique way as portrayed in the Gospels through:
SURRENDER - Surrender to Christ who provides hope, healing and wholeness
SERVICE - Service to others because of Christ’s saving Grace that was first demonstrated to us
STEWARDSHIP - Faithful stewardship and dedication of time, temple, talents, and treasure to build up the Kingdom of God
SOUL WINNING - To introduce others to a soul saving love relationship with Jesus Christ in preparation for His soon return
OUR VISION
To become the most Christ Centered, People Loving, Service Oriented and Inclusive Church ministering to the spiritual and temporal needs of the Central Florida community and surrounding areas.
WHAT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT
We gather for worship, then scatter to serve.
We find great joy in serving our church family right here at home, but there's something even more exciting about stepping outside these walls and caring for the Central Florida area.
Whether it's having a Nurse or NP on duty at church to provide care, our free food pantry, delivering farm fresh goodies to our beloved seniors’ doorsteps, bringing church services to the home-bound, serving lunch for everyone after church, hitting the streets of downtown Orlando to donate and minister to those in need, or organizing free community health events out where it's accessible to all, serving is our way of expressing our deepest passion and God’s love.

FAQs
What should I wear? You'll see a variety here at Solid Rock. Many wear business or formal clothes, while others wear more casual dresses or khakis. We say come as you are!
What about my kids? We have Children's Sabbath School, tailored for children aged 2-13 years old! Our enthusiastic teachers genuinely enjoy working with kids and will treat them with utmost care.
From 9:15am -10:45am, your child(ren) will learn Bible stories, make new friends, sing, and unleash their creativity with fun arts and crafts. Running late? No problem! You can bring them in anytime.
During Church Service
Before the main church service starts, please feel free to take a fun Children's Bible Activity sheet and crayons at the Welcome Desk. (You can return or keep the crayons.) They can go up for Children's Story and have fun with other kids collecting offering.
Mother's Room
If your little ones need care during service, you are welcome to use our soundproof Mother's Room (for both moms and dads). It's right outside the Sanctuary doors to the left, and always open and available. You will still be able to see and hear the service in there for as long as you need.
Inside is a changing table with wipes, a crib, a desk and chairs for toddlers, and couches for parents, nursing moms, and kids to relax on. There is also a bathroom within the room. Our cleaning crew thoroughly sanitizes the Mother's Room from top to bottom every week before services.
What will the service be like? We have singing, a special welcome, prayer & praise report time, special music, offering, more praise and worship, and then preaching. You can follow along with what comes next in the bulletin you get at the Welcome Desk. You'll often see the words to the songs on the screen. If you don't know the songs, it's totally okay! Service usually lasts for about 1.5 hours.
Some people wave their hands in praise; some nod, some sing along, some stand up and worship. You can do what makes you feel comfortable. On any given Sabbath, you might hear a praise and worship song right next to an acapella hymn in the same service.
Sometimes we have lunch after church...if we do, you are definitely invited! Just come on back to the Rose Center with us and eat. We have some great Caribbean cooks and caterers in our congregation, and we often eat vegan or vegetarian food.
Do I have to give offering as a first-time visitor? No, you are never required to give anything, only do it if the Holy Spirit impresses it on your heart. We will never pressure you or anyone to give.
Where's the restroom? When leaving the Sanctuary, the Ladies' Restroom is immediately to the Right, just past the balcony entrance and water fountain. The Men's Restroom is straight ahead just past the Welcome Desk on the Right side. Both restrooms are labeled for quick discovery. Both are wheelchair accessible.
