Welcome to Rock Harbor Church! We are a young church serving South Placer, striving to be a community of faith where God’s love dwells in and through our lives in real ways that move out from Sunday services and into the fabric of the lives we live.
A Message from our Senior Pastor
We seek to be a biblically based church, with a sky-high value on cultivating an atmosphere of acceptance. It is our prayer that our Sunday services, as well as our lives, are avenues for authentic worship of the God we love.
Our dynamic children’s and youth ministries on Sundays and throughout the week have made Rock Harbor a church kids love, and a place where parents are discovering to be “A Great Place to Raise a Family!” We seek to be a Family on Mission both local and global, to bring light and love to Jesus Christ into a dark and lonely world in need.
We invite you to catch a glimpse of Rock Harbor here. Come join us on a Sunday, or in one of the many other places you will find represented throughout the week. Rock Harbor may be a great place for you to raise your family. Rock Harbor may be a great place for you to be connected to the family of God.
Our Pastors
Greg and Sharon were among those first men and women hearing God’s whispers inviting them to dive whole heartedly into the waters which would become known as Rock Harbor! After 15 years of pastoral ministry in the mainstream, God seemed to be calling into the oceans deep of everyday life and struggle. Their hearts burn with a passion to help people see God, embrace His love, follow His lead, and know without question that each one of them is in fact God’s favorite child! This would be their prayer not only for their community, but of course for their own two young adult sons as well, as they venture into their own callings of family, community and career, agents of change in God’s spiritual revolution!

Brittney has served in several ministries at Rock Harbor since she began attending in 2003, but was specifically called to become apart of the staff in 2013 as the Jr. High Ministries Director. Now, she is the Director of Sr. High Ministries, taking what she learned from ministries past, and furthering the charge to reflect Christ’s love to our teen community. She is dedicated to building an environment that allows youth to grow in their relationship with God and His people, through special events, weekly youth groups, small group times, and overall discipleship.

Many people tell the Sr. High team that they are “brave” for working with youth, but each and every one of the team members have something special to offer in transitioning each student from their teen years to early adulthood and beyond!
