We are in the planning stages of launching a Buddy System in our Children’s Ministry to help ensure that children with physical, developmental, or learning disabilities can fully participate in Sunday School and church activities. Each child would be paired with a caring volunteer buddy who provides support during the class period. Our heart is to create a place of inclusion, safety, and spiritual growth for every child. If you might be interested in serving as a buddy in this ministry, please contact Crystal Montoya a cmontoya@rockharborchurch.net to learn more.

The world is changing, your child’s foundation shouldn’t! Enrollment is now open for the 2026–2027 school year at Rock Harbor Academy. We partner with parents to provide  Christ-centered education rooted in biblical truth and academic excellence! For more information or to schedule a tour contact Marci Davis at mdavis@rockharboracademy.com

Throughout the month of March, we will be collecting baby items and gifts in partnership with Bakersfield Pregnancy Center. Donations may be dropped off at the tent in front of the Children’s Wing. Financial gifts may also be given through the offering box or online. All donations will support our Community Baby Showers in April.

Come join us for an extraordinary journey to the Land of the Bible. Visiting Israel is far more than a trip—it is an opportunity to see God’s Word come alive and to deepen your faith in ways that shape you long after you return home. On this tour, we will stand in the very places where Jesus walked, sail the Sea of Galilee, open the Scriptures on the Mount of Beatitudes, explore the sites of the prophets, and walk the ancient streets of Jerusalem. Every day immerses you more deeply in the story of redemption written across this land. But this particular journey carries a special purpose. In a moment when the Church is longing for clarity, courage, and a biblical understanding of the times, we will gather for three special evenings of teaching in the Galilee—the very region where Jesus carried out much of His earthly ministry. With the hills of the Galilee surrounding us, we will reflect on God’s unchanging truth, the hour we find ourselves in, and the hope that anchors our lives in Christ. Throughout our time together, we’ll enjoy rich fellowship, heartfelt worship, and meaningful moments of prayer. To walk the land of the Bible and see Scripture unfold before your eyes is more powerful than words can describe. I truly believe this will be a spiritually significant journey for a time such as this. Do not miss this opportunity to encounter the land, the Scriptures, and our present moment with renewed strength and expectation. PLEASE NOTE: The David Citadel Tour is sold out, but you can still join us by choosing the Mamilla Package For more information & registration info, click here.
