I’ve been looking for a church home for a while. I saw that this church was having an Easter event so I decided to take my daughter. At first it was a nice event. Even thought about attending Sunday’s Easter service. Well, that was until I was greeted not once, but twice by two different staff members about how much they or their significant other “enjoy the company of Black people.” And I mean long rants about how they grew up with them, etc. This may have been pure innocence on their end however, as a newcomer coming into the house of the Lord, the color of my skin should not be the topic of discussion. We were all created equally through God’s eyes, so race was the last thing I was expecting to converse about. This made me feel uncomfortable, as if I was being watched or judged so we ended up not completing the Easter event and leaving. I believe that because my daughter is half white, they felt comfortable enough to bring up this topic of discussion however, I did not like the message this was conveying to my daughter. She was present the whole time for both conversations, and she’s only 5. So the fact that she had to sit and listen to this foolishness is what hurt me the most.. Now I had to talk with my baby about loving everyone regardless of the color of their skin, something she would have never thought of, until we came here.. now she knows the difference between skin colors and how important it is to love and treat everyone equally.. So yeah, I will not be going back here. Thanks for taking a piece of my...
Read more🚫🙏 Assembly of another rude/ entitled Christian church 🚫🙏
I am absolutely appalled by the behavior I experienced today at the Assembly of the Rock church. As a patron of multiple businesses that share the same parking lot, I was shocked to find no indication or separate parking areas for each establishment. Desperate for shade to protect my older electric vehicle from the scorching Arizona sun, I made the decision to park near the church (5pm on a Wednesday)
Little did I know that one of the managers/key holders of the church would approach me in the most rude and entitled manner, demanding that I move my vehicle. Can you believe it? I park there every single day without any issues, and yet this Caucasian man had the audacity to treat me with such disrespect and demands.
To make matters worse, he followed me into the business and had an unknown conversation with the management. Perhaps the Rock church should consider purchasing their own land and creating a parking lot reserved exclusively for their congregation, where they can make up rules as they please.
I am utterly disappointed by the behavior displayed by the Assembly of the Rock church today. It is disheartening to see such a lack of understanding and empathy from a place that is supposed to promote love and acceptance. Shame on them for their entitled attitude and complete disregard for the convenience of other businesses' patrons.

Read moreOur experience with Rock church is just beyond words. Conveniently located in Scottsdale close to Scottsdale and McDowell Roads you will find hospitality a central feature. From the minute you hit the parking lot the Rock Church family is reaching out with parking assistance and assurance from the safety team. You will probably meet Donna who is the ambassador with the broom. She greets you with a smile as she sweeps up the entry or anything to make our experience in the facility positive. You will no doubt find the Rock Church family warm and inviting as we did. They made us feel welcome, comfortable and any sense of being an outsider quickly disappears. The Pastor and his wife lead the charge with this feeling of hospitality and you can be assured that messages and teachings are doctrinely sound with careful adherence to the Word of God. There are many opportunities to get to know these wonderful people who just love Jesus and want an opportunity to love you. Come let the people of Rock Church be your church family and let them show you the love of Jesus as well as give you a great place to serve and make a difference in...
