WORSHIP SERVICES

Rolling Oaks Christian Church (The ROCC) is a community people who believe that Jesus, the Christ, is Lord.  We seek to worship the triune God with joy and thanksgiving in our hearts.  For us, worship is a scripturally-based activity of adoring our God through praise, prayer, song, and proclamation.  Our order of worship follows a traditional pattern that offers communion at both services every Sunday, but our spirit of worship is contemporary.  The ROCC is committed to reaching out and sharing the love of Jesus with all people - new converts to those who have known God for a lifetime and can never get enough.  With this goal in mind, we offer innovative and engaging worship in two venues - contemporary and traditional. 

The Contemporary Service (begins at 8:45 am) emphasizes contemporary praise and worship music in an atmosphere of warmth and friendship.  We use multimedia and overhead projection to enhance the worship experience.  We serve Communion by Intinction* to all who profess faith in Jesus Christ.

*Intinction means that we offer the bread and the cup at the same time.  As each person receives communion, they first take a piece of bread, dip it into the cup, and then eat it.

The Traditional Service begins at 11:15 a.m. and features a more formal style of worship.  Communion is served each Sunday by passing around a tray of the communion elements (bread and cup).

GLUTEN-FREE, WHEAT-FREE, AND ALCOHOL-FREE COMMUNION

Our Lord spent a great deal of His ministry healing the sick.  He also asked us to remember Him through the act of communion.  It is our intent that no person should be unable to share in communion because he or she is unable to tolerate gluten, wheat, or alcohol.  To this end ...

We offer a gluten-free and wheat-free cracker

 in addition to the loaf, and our cup is alcohol-free.
