WELCOME TO CHURCH ON THE ROCK

Church on the Rock was founded over 36 years ago by Dr. Michael Jacobs and his wife, Pastor Diana. The church began to gather in homes with a handful of people, but soon moved to its first official location in a New Albany bowling alley in April of 1985. Our current building was constructed in 1992, and in 2016, Dr. Jacobs passed the role of Lead Pastor to his son, Jordan. Our church has been the launching pad for several other churches nationwide, and we are grateful to have seen God do many wonderful things here. We believe the future is bright and we’re grateful for every person who calls this church their home.

our vision

Our vision is to birth, establish, and maintain a strong word-oriented local church. 


Our desire is for the supernatural power of God to move in each and every family of our church. 


We are a family church where all age groups are ministered to by effective leadership and experience God's presence.


Our overall goal is to train each person in every age group to reach his/her fullest potential in Christ Jesus. (Eph 4:11-16)



"Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love."

Ephesians 4:11–16 NLT
