A name of our church

I am often asked the name of our church . Some people ask me, “Is it Church on the Rock church or On the Rock church?”

If you surf the internet for “Church on the Rock”, you will find many churches with the same name. Actually, this name is very popular not only in Europe or English speaking countries, but also in Asia.

In the Bible, there are some names of churches, such as Ecclesia or a body of Christ. I think these are true name of church. Each church has different names but there is only one church in this world in God’s eyes, so Church on the Rock is a part of Christ’s body which shares the gospel to non-believers, produces churches or group of people to the area, and builds and hands over responsibility to disciples.

The day of Pentecost is May 23rd this year. A small ministry started from 1996 will have 14th birthday on this day. May 23rd is also the birthday for churches of Christ in this world.

Mathew 16:18
