Iglesia Bautista La Roca
Sundays, 1:15 PM | The Fellowship Hall
We are a Church committed to sharing the love of God with every person who does not know Him, with every person who visits our congregation, and with the rest of the Body of Christ. We feel committed not only to teach Biblical principles to establish a personal relationship with God and his church, but also to be the arms of God in this place. We hope that, through our lives, the people around us will know Christ, and that they will also have a positive impact on society by sharing the love of God.
