Growth Groups

Life Groups are an essential part of our church, as they provide a place where deeper fellowship and better support for one another can take place. Considering that the early church worshipped in large settings in the synagogues as well as in homes, we unite together similarly in order to be in deeper fellowship with God and one-another. God has reconciled us not only to Himself but also to each other. This "each other" is called His Church. Thus, we intentionally strive toward community through men's/women's groups, home gatherings, and other personal settings.

Small Church, Small Community

We have been created to live in community and not in isolation. Physically, we do live in a community, but spiritually, socially, and relationally we often live our lives in isolation. We find ourselves with no one to turn to when we have a major issue that has just surfaced in our life. Living in community affords us the opportunity to more wholly experience God through close relationships as we play and pray together, as we encourage and help one another, and as we study and live out God’s word together.

AND LET US CONSIDER HOW WE MAY SPUR ONE ANOTHER ON TOWARD LOVE AND GOOD DEEDS. LET US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER, AS SOME ARE IN THE HABIT OF DOING, BUT LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER - AND ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.

Hebrews 10:24-25

Missional Community

We believe the church is the family of God called to live on mission to advance His Kingdom. Because we are God's children through Jesus, we are to live as brothers and sisters. The church is not a building, place, or program, but God's people.

Rockett Baptist Church is committed to reaching people all over the world with the Good News of Jesus Christ. That's why we've partnered with many different Missionaries by supporting them financially and through prayer, as well as periodically joining them on short term missions trips.

As a Southern Baptist Church we monthly make financial contributions for the sake of the gospel. We also raise funds 3 or 4 times a year for the cause of world missions. In addition, once a year we host our WOW Weekend event which stands for World Outreach Weekend where we have one of our Missionary families in for a weekend filled with fun and faith building. Our desire as a church is to help our missionaries do the work that God has called them to do.
