ABOUT US

As our church family continues to grow, we are working tirelessly to create space where every person feels welcome. So, we truly hope you consider joining us this weekend. We would be honored to welcome you at our Sunday gathering.


The origins of Rock River Community Church are rooted in the small town of Luverne, Minnesota, where First Assembly of God began its mission over 30 years ago. We began a new chapter in March 2021, when Bob and Annette Junak stepped in as lead pastors, bringing with them a renewed passion and vision for bringing people home to the heart of God. And from that vision and the principle that a life of faith must be crafted intentionally, Rock River Community Church was launched.

What We

Believe

As an Assembly of God Church we believe in 16 Fundamental Truths.

FIND OUT MORE

THE BIBLE


The Scriptures are Inspired by God and declare His design and plan for mankind.


THE TRINITY



There is only One True God–revealed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (commonly known as the Trinity).


THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST



As God's son, Jesus was both human and divine.


THE FALL OF MAN



Though originally good, man willingly fell into sin–ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.


SALVATION


Every person can have restored fellowship with God through salvation (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior).


ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH



Water Baptism - Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation. 


Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) - a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.


BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT



The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for witnessing and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.


SPEAKING IN TONGUES



The initial physical evidence of the baptism in the Holy Spirit is ‘speaking in tongues,’ as experienced on the day of Pentecost and referenced throughout Acts and the Epistles.


THE MISSION OF THE CHURCH



The church has a mission to seek and save all who are lost in sin. We believe 'the church' is the body of Christ and consists of the people who, throughout time, have accepted God's offer of redemption (regardless of religious denomination) through the sacrificial death of His son Jesus Christ.


SANCTIFICATION



Sanctification initially occurs at salvation and is not only a declaration that a believer is holy, but also a progressive lifelong process of separating from evil as believers continually draw closer to God and become more Christlike.


CHURCH LEADERSHIP AND MINISTRY



A divinely called and scripturally ordained leadership ministry serves the church. The Bible teaches that each of us under leadership must commit ourselves to reach others for Christ, to worship Him with other believers, to build up or edify the body of believers–the church and to meet human need with ministries of love and compassion.


DIVINE HEALING



Divine healing of the sick is a privilege for Christians today and is provided for in Christ's atonement (His sacrificial death on the cross for our sins).


THE BLESSED HOPE



Jesus will rapture His church prior to His return to earth (the second coming). At this future moment in time all believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.


THE MILLENNIAL REIGN OF CHRIST



Jesus will return with His saints at His second coming and begin His benevolent rule over earth for 1,000 years. This millennial reign will bring the salvation of national Israel and the establishment of universal peace.


THE FINAL JUDGMENT



A final judgment will take place for those who have rejected Christ. They will be judged for their sin and consigned to eternal punishment in a punishing lake of fire.


NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH



We look forward to the perfect New Heavens and New Earth that Christ is preparing for all people, of all time, who have accepted Him. We will live and dwell with Him there forever following His millennial reign on earth. 'And so shall we forever be with the Lord!'
