Rock Haven Church Montevideo

Worship is the goal of our mission.

God faithfully takes His gospel forward through ordinary people and you are invited to participate. 

We are saved by grace alone.

God opens doors of faith to lost people when believers open themselves to being used by God as conduits of His grace. 

The message that’s central to our mission as God’s witnesses is that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to find forgiveness and true freedom. 

The Holy Spirit sends us to love others by being intentional in how we share Jesus with them.

We can have hope even in life’s setbacks because Christ’s Kingdom advances with unstoppable power against all other kingdoms and powers.

A church that collectively pursues Jesus as its primary passion can change the world.

If we truly believe that the gospel is for everyone, we will trust God to prepare us to share the gospel widely no matter the opposition. 

We need to know the truth of Jesus to be set free from sin.

There is no one so far gone that God’s grace can’t reach, redeem, and redirect them. 

God advances His world mission through ordinary, everyday people joyfully taking the gospel with them wherever they go.

When life shakes you, the only way Jesus will pour out of you is if you’re filled with Jesus. 

Unity within the church serves the outward multiplication of the church.

Through baptism, we celebrate that by God’s grace we who were once dead are now made alive through faith in Jesus Christ.

We can celebrate now and into eternity the victory Jesus Christ has given us over death. 

Through the cross, Christ has done for you what you could never have done for yourself.

Who we see Jesus as matters.

The gospel ignites a response toward life for all who believe it and toward death for all who reject it.

Unity is found in pursuing God’s glory instead of our own. 

We grow in boldness as we draw near to God and seek to please Him above anyone else. 

God wants us to use our interruptions as opportunities to bless others. 

Faith in Jesus Christ compels us toward active participation within a healthy, Christ-centered church.

The church’s foundational message is that Jesus Christ is Lord & Savior and all who turn to Him in faith find the power, presence, and peace of God. 

The empowering presence of the Holy Spirit sparked the first steps of God’s mission for the church and still sparks every step today. 

In carrying out the mission God has given us, we must proactively wait on Him for His help. 

Jesus calls, empowers, and sends us as His witnesses into the world. 

Beholding God’s glory and grace makes us eager to participate in God’s mission. 

To live a life fully surrendered, we need to have a big view of God and treasure Him.

Good news of great joy for all people

God graciously works in us so that He might generously work through us to advance the gospel.

Complete dependence on Jesus Christ is the only way to be ok in any and every situation. 

We only find and keep peace in our circumstances when we orient our lives toward the God of Peace.

Mature Christians follow Jesus in thought and deed

Knowing Christ and the power of His resurrection is worth surrendering everything.

We shine brightly as God’s children when we trust Him in our circumstances instead of complaining about them.

Keep working to obey God because God is still working in you.

Our mission demands that our minds be humbly set on Christ Jesus so we can selflessly serve others. 

The gospel not only saves us. It also empowers us to go and live like we’ve been saved.

When we surrender our circumstances to God, we can honor Christ in both our lives and deaths.  

To thrive in hard circumstances, we need to embrace the purpose and the people God has for us. 

Your work has eternal worth

Joyful generosity helps us hold firmly to God as our greatest treasure instead of clinging to the earthly treasures of this world.

We love others best by helping them love Jesus most.

We can only fully surrender to God through an all-encompassing love for God

Conviction of sin should lead us to closeness with God.

We can faithfully endure desperate circumstances by surrendering our hearts to God in prayer.
