Our Belief

In life and death we belong to God. Where ever we go God is with us; loving us to life and challenging us to be more faithful in our responsibilities to God, Church, Family, and Community.
We trust in God who in sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God's image male and female, of every race and people, to live as one community. But we rebel against God; we hide from our Creator. Ignoring God's commandments, we violate the image of God in others and ourselves, we accept lies as truth, we exploit neighbor and nature, and we threaten death to the planet entrusted to our care. We deserve God's condemnation. Yet God in Christ has redeemed humankind and all creation. In Jesus, God has given us and example for living in concert with our neighbors and with the world. In Jesus God has offered a sacrifice that has atoned for the sins of mankind. In Jesus God has granted us access to God’s power to save, heal, and deliver all who have faith in him.Hence we are followers of Jesus Christ who was fully human and fully God.Jesus in his preaching, teaching by word and deed, blessing the children, healing the sick, eating with outcasts, forgiving sinners, and calling all to repent and believe the gospel, Jesus taught us what it meant to be truly apart of a community that is guided and ruled by God’s Love. Unjustly condemned, Jesus was crucified, suffering the depths of human pain and giving his life for the sins of the world. God raised Jesus from the dead, breaking the power of sin and evil in the world, anddelivering us all from death to life eternal.
We trust in God the Holy Spirit, who is our guide through out all of life. The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture, engages us through the word Preached, claims us in the waters of baptism, feeds us at the Lord’s Supper, and calls women and men to all ministries of the church. In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to be witnesses among all peoples to the power of Jesus Christ,to unmask idolatries in church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples who are hurting, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.
In gratitude to God, empowered by the Spirit, we strive to serve Christ in our daily tasks and to live holy and joyful lives, even as we watch for God's new heaven and new earth, praying,Come, Lord Jesus!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Solid Rock Christian Church

Apostle Bill Anderson, Jr.
Pastor, Solid Rock Christian Church apostle@solidrockmemphis.com






Solid Rock Christian Church’s youth ministry, The F.L.O.C.K. (Future Leaders of Christ’s Kingdom), is definitely moving in the timing and favor of God. The mission of The F.L.O.C.K. Youth Ministry is to propel youth into their Godly purpose by meeting their spiritual needs, making them aware of their gifts, healing wounded and damaged emotions, and building their self-esteem. This mission is accomplished through prayer, Interactive Bible Studies, a Discipleship Program, youth workshops, outreach and evangelism, and many exciting activities. The youth of Solid Rock have also created ministries of their own. The Alpha & Omega Steppers, the youth step team of SRCC, was created by youth to minister praise and worship unto to the Lord. They go out ministering Jesus Christ and serving the Anointing all over the city of Memphis. The youth of Solid Rock have also created a dance ministry called Anointed Vessels of Praise. This group of young ladies has one goal in their hearts – to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. The F.L.O.C.K. Youth Ministry gives the youth an opportunity to grow spiritually and at the same time express their feelings, thoughts, and dreams. These youth are learning that the promises of God are “yes” and “amen” to the glory of God that is already operating through them. We welcome youth from all over the world to come and experience the presence of God like never before. Solid Rock Christian Church is dedicated to serving souls of all ages. We have a dedicated staff of advisors that serve in our Children’s Ministry. The mission of the Children’s Ministry is to lead our children to Jesus Christ by equipping them with the Word of God in such a way that they understand it, teaching them how to pray, and teaching them how to unleash the power in God’s Word in their lives. For additional information about our Children’s Ministry or if you would like to make a donation to our Children’s Ministry, please feel free to call the church administrative office at (901) 365-2747
