We Count on You<\/h4>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Black Rock Church is home to people from all stages of life, including those who have never been married and those who were married before but are now single due to divorce or death of a spouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

If this describes your story, we are ready to help you thrive because 25% of adults at Black Rock are not married.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Getting involved beyond a Sunday worship service provides a network of relationships to enrich your walk with Jesus and offers help when you need it. We count on single people to bring their perspective, giftings, and experience to the life of our church.<\/span><\/p>\n

Community Groups meet in various towns to study the Bible and encourage one another as they apply spiritual truths to everyday life.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Groups intentionally blend older and younger, single and married, newer and more seasoned Jesus-followers into one local space to equip and encourage each other.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
