Business Professionals And Community
We are intentionally located in an office building among the business community of the Rockside Road corridor because we aspire to be a church of influence beyond our walls. Here are some of the ways we engage with the community:
- Cuyahoga Valley Chamber of Commerce: Active members since 2002, we attend events, network, and participate in initiatives to enhance our region as a better place to work, live, and worship.
- Indy Alive: This collaboration among educators, clergy, parents, city employees, and students aims to help youth thrive until age 25 and make positive choices. Our church is represented at monthly meetings, and we actively participate by co-sponsoring school assembly speakers, including inspirational figures like Bob Lenz from www.lifepromotions.com.
- National Day of Prayer: A prime example of community collaboration, this event involves five locations and various sponsors and participants throughout the day on the first Thursday of May. It has built over two decades of momentum, led by Rockside Church.
- Partnerships: We frequently collaborate with the following organizations:
- Campus Life/Youth for Christ
- Cornerstone of Hope
- Love INC of Cuyahoga County
- Indy Alive
- Indiana Wesleyan University
- City of Independence: We believe it's our responsibility to pray regularly for our Mayor, city council, first responders, and public servants. We are grateful for the cooperative relationship we share with the city. Over the years, we have participated in many city events, including:
- 4th of July festivities
- October Fest in September
- Our pastor considers it an honor to open meetings in prayer, including city council sessions, the Memorial Day ceremony, and senior citizen memorial services.
