River Rock Christian Fellowship
Vision 2011

“Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.
“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it will not delay."

Habbakuk 2:2,3

2011 Will be a year of building up the local body of believers at River Rock into a cohesive tribe dedicated to Jesus Christ, to the body of Christ, and to renewal and revival in the Reno/Tahoe region.

Our Vision

Our Vision is summed up by the words "People Matter."  We have a vision for a fellowship where people feel safe, loved, and cared for.  We have a vision for a region where the love of Jesus Christ touches everyone in a way that the region is transformed by the power of God like a "city set on a hill."  Our core value is creating an environment where the presence of God is always welcome and where relationships are always authentic.
Our Mission

Our mission is to bring the Love of God through the renewal of core Bible values to this region resulting in a powerful revival in the hearts of the people.  We look to scripture as our compass and believe that God's word is the same today as it was in the past.  For more on the renewal click here.

We believe that Jesus came to build a strong church (Matthew 16:18) to do His work through lead by the five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13) to equip the God's people for works of service. 

We plan to carry out this mission through a strong and vibrant church filled with authentic relationships and an outreach into our community through our Reno Outpouring ministry that touches tens of thousands in the region.
What We Believe

Although River Rock is a fully independent fellowship, Pastor Eric Moen is an Ordained Assembly of God minister,  therefore we subscribe to the statement of Fundamental Truths of the Assembly of God which are listed below.  In addition, Pastor Moen posts, from time to time, scriptural clarifications in addition to these fundamental truths on a page on our web site titled Bible Answers which you can access at this link:  Bible Answers.

Assembly of God Fundamental Truths

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

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

  3. WE BELIEVE...In the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. As God's son Jesus was both human and divine.

  4. WE BELIEVE...though originally good, Man Willingly Fell to Sin?ushering evil and death, both physical and spiritual, into the world.

  5. WE BELIEVE...Every Person Can Have Restored Fellowship with God Through 'Salvation' (trusting Christ, through faith and repentance, to be our personal Savior). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  6. WE BELIEVE...and practice two ordinances?(1) Water Baptism by Immersion after repenting of one's sins and receiving Christ's gift of salvation, and (2) Holy Communion (the Lord's Supper) as a symbolic remembrance of Christ's suffering and death for our salvation.

  7. WE BELIEVE...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. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  8. WE BELIEVE... 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.

  9. WE BELIEVE...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.

  10. WE BELIEVE...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.

  11. WE BELIEVE...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.

  12. WE BELIEVE...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). [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  13. WE BELIEVE...in The Blessed Hope?When Jesus Raptures 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. [1 of 4 cardinal doctrines of the AG]

  14. WE BELIEVE...in The Millennial Reign of Christ when Jesus returns with His saints at His second coming and begins 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.

  15. WE BELIEVE...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.

  16. WE BELIEVE...and look forward to the perfect New Heavens and a 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!'
