Rocky Ridge is located about 2 miles southeast of Quakertown, PA. In the early1900’s the area around Rocky Ridge was known as the “woods over the ridge.” Families living in the area were of many nationalities and most had little income. In 1931, the first “cottage” meeting and Sunday School were held. By 1949, a number of charter families had moved into the area and a new church building at 114 Rocky Ridge Road was built.
We have been an ethnically diverse congregation from the beginning, and have always had at the forefront a support of missions, missionaries, and short term mission experiences.
As we look towards the future, Rocky Ridge is currently trying to re-imagine what shape their missional DNA will take in the 21st century.
Vision Statement: We are a community of people, bonded by faith in Jesus Christ, committed to being Shaped by God’s word, to Sharing our life with others, and to Sacrificing for God’s mission.
Franco Salvatori is the current Lead Pastor. The church structure consists of Elders giving spiritual direction and a Leadership Council governance to church matters.
Quakertown Christian School was started in the basement of the church in September 1951. (www.rockyridgechurch.org)
The opinions expressed in articles posted on Mosaic’s website are those of the author and may not reflect the official policy of Mosaic Conference. Mosaic is a large conference, crossing ethnicities, geographies, generations, theologies, and politics. Each person can only speak for themselves; no one can represent “the conference.” May God give us the grace to hear what the Spirit is speaking to us through people with whom we disagree and the humility and courage to love one another even when those disagreements can’t be bridged.
