  1. Update on the State Legislature’s Decision Regarding the Mask Mandate

    Leave a Comment

    Dear Rock Church,

    As you may know, the Utah House has overturned Salt Lake and Summit County mask mandates, effective immediately. The Utah House voted 45-29 (Friday morning) to end the locally-imposed COVID-19 mask mandates in Salt Lake and Summit counties.

    Accordingly, we will continue to leave the decision to wear a mask (or not) to your own good judgment. We will have masks available for anyone who would like one.

  2. Update Regarding The Rock’s Mask Policy

    Leave a Comment

    The Rock Pastors spent four hours (of heartfelt discussion) regarding our response and responsibility to the Salt Lake County Health Department’s 30-day public health order (order #2022-01) regarding COVID-19 mask mandates.

    This is a challenging issue, to say the least. But, this is what the pastors have decided will apply to our Rock Church services:

  3. Announcement for the Weekend of January 8 & 9, 2022

    Leave a Comment

    Dear Rock Church,

    We are aware that yesterday, the Salt Lake County Health Department issued a 30-day public health order (order #2022-01) requiring people in Salt Lake County to wear masks, regardless of vaccination status or past COVID-19 infection.

    Because of the late notice of this order, The Rock Church will simply encourage – but not require – the wearing of masks this weekend. We will also not enforce mask wearing, but leave this decision to your own good judgment. We will have masks available for anyone who wants one.

  4. Mask Mandate Ending in Utah and TRC’s Plans

    Leave a Comment

    Hi, Rock Church ~~ We had an amazing Easter celebration last weekend! All three services were full, there were 17 salvations, 20 baptisms and tons of new people! Celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus together was an incredible blessing. 

    I have a quick COVID update for you. As you may know, Governor Cox (and the Utah State Legislature) recently passed a bill that will eliminate any mask requirements in the state of Utah (as of April 10, 2021).

    Important COVID Update

    Attention Rock Church Family,

They were in attendance at church on Saturday, March 20. At the time of that church service, these individuals were not showing any symptoms of infection. They all wore masks during the service, when they were unable to social distance.

  7. Our Sunday Service New Time & Location

    Leave a Comment

    Hi, Rock Church! I’ve got a question for you, “It’s Sunday, August 2 at 10:00 a.m. – do you know where your church service is?”

    If you said, “It’s in the sanctuary of The Rock Church building,” you would be wrong!

    In an effort to accommodate more people at our Sunday services and have room for plenty of social distancing, The Rock Church pastors have gotten creative. We’ve decided to move our Sunday service to our north lawn!

  8. Where Does My Help Come From?

    Leave a Comment
    Where Does My Help Come From – a word by Pastor Bryan Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, Utah. "ask yourself, “Where does my help come from?”Where do you look for relief? Like the Psalmist, may our response always be “My help comes from the Lord.”

    “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber.” — Psalm 121:1-3

    I woke up today feeling pretty exhausted. Not physically (I slept great) but spiritually. My anxious mind has been filled with worry and angst. I keep thinking about all that’s going on in the world; it feels like my thoughts have run a marathon before my feet even touch the ground. Maybe you’ve had days like this recently as well? We can easily wonder where does our help come from?
