I am new to Colorado and was led to visit The Rock through the recommendation of a friend. Wow,…read morewhat a church! The Lord sure is blessing The Rock and Pastor JR seems to be putting the money into the right areas. Let me tell you, if you have children of any age (teens included), you will be blown away by the facilities in the kids wing. I am talking indoor playground, any game system you can imagine, sports equipment out the wazoo and more. I'm a newbie so I am sure there is a ton I'm missing but I'm going to rave about what I've seen so far. Also, henceforth, I am only giving an account of the 1st - 3rd grade section as that is the only experience I have and that experience has been wonderful; not only have great entertainment but they are extremely organized as far as safety (Front desk where the children check in every morning, children receive sticker with name/number on it and parent receives matching number which must be presented in order for them to release children, at the end of service there is a person standing in front of the doorway to the kid's area, he'll call out the child's name to let them know to come to the front and then there is another person at the front who checks the numbers and then releases the child) and lesson plans. The first week my children were there, they had staff members dress up as characters and perform a skit to emphasize the moral of the week. When my husband and I picked up our children, we were given a pamphlet to put on our refrigerator outlining the lesson our children learned, the scriptures they talked about and the challenges they were to work on for the week. We receive this pamphlet every week and it's a great tool to encourage conversation on the way home what they learned because, let's face it, when you have a twisty slide reaching to the ceiling and plenty of room to run around with your friends, you're not interested in telling mom and dad about anything else but that. In addition to the children's programs, my husband and I have enjoyed the upbeat worship that, not only brings us in with the musical arrangement but, focuses us on the deep love our Savior has for us and what an honor it is to have the opportunity to worship Him. Pastor JR's teachings have been spot on and I have been so impressed at his transparency. The church I was with before I moved out here had a motto, "Real people serving a real God in real life". I loved that my pastor worked hard to make sure that we weren't a building of people putting on the airs but of saved sinners who were head over heels in love with Jesus and were going to bust our butt to live a life worthy of His love. I get that vibe from Pastor JR and I really appreciate it. I've been in churches where I didn't feel comfortable to expose any struggle I may have had and that stunk. It's not the way it's supposed to be but, with Pastor JR, I not only feel comfortable enough to share it but have a pretty good feeling that he's struggled with it too. It's real at the Rock and it's the way it should be. I haven't had a chance to get involved yet but I have seen the amazing amount of small group, community involvement, missions opportunities and support groups that are offered and I hope to be able to right a review full of some more run-on sentences soon. :)

Complete and total disregard for this beautiful community! We almost purchased a home on the same…read morestreet as this church and are relieved that we bought elsewhere because the pastor is attempting to rezone their 52 acre lot into low income housing where there are no facilities to accommodate such as public transportation, mental health aid and drug rehab (if needed). GREED AT IT'S WORST.

I'm deeply concerned about transparency and accountability issues within our community,…read moreparticularly within this prominent church. Attempts to address potential misconduct or lack of transparency are met with suppression, fueling my determination to expose any injustices. Recent events underscore the need for transparency, especially within influential institutions. Red flags emerged with new leadership, but attempts to address them were dismissed. Similar patterns occurred at the leader's previous church in Moscow, Idaho, where NDAs silenced victims. Now he claims ignorance about his behavior, but that does not seem congruent with his past behavior and dismissal from prior church. This seems to be a pattern he most definitely is aware of. An executive pastor, upon confronting the leader about his behavior, was coerced into signing an NDA or face termination. Transparency was further compromised when information was blacked out during a congregation address, claiming ignorance of inappropriate behavior. It's our duty to hold institutions and leaders accountable. Using Matthew 18 as a shield is unacceptable, given the pattern of NDAs to conceal misconduct. Claims of firing for cause raise questions about addressing other misconduct transparently. Biblical standards for pastors emphasize qualities like self-control and accountability, urging transparency in cases of misconduct. I've witnessed dedicated individuals ousted under new leadership, replaced by the pastor's acquaintances, despite their integrity and commitment. It's time to address these issues openly and honestly, ensuring the well-being of our community. Ignoring misconduct and silencing victims contradicts Christian values and undermines trust. Accountability is essential for the integrity of our community. https://www.facebook.com/share/dCrBSkZ4d2hALKJg/?mibextid=WC7FNe Post from previous member who is sharing experiences at his prior church.

I absolutely do not recommend this church…read more We attended Journey from 2019 to 2022. During that time, I went through a deeply painful period in my life--my ex-husband was cheating on me, but continually gaslit me, telling me I was crazy and needed medication. We went to counseling with Russ, who sided with him. Russ insisted my ex probably wasn't cheating and that I should seek therapy and get on meds. Eventually, the truth came out--he was cheating--and the church offered zero support. No accountability, no care, nothing. My mom, Debra Finnegan, also worked for the church for a while. In 2022, she lost both of her parents--and again, no flowers, no cards, no calls. No acknowledgment at all. And this week--on Thursday morning--my 28-year-old sister passed away unexpectedly. I reached out to Scotty, Russ, and Cory. Scotty read my message and didn't respond. My mom emailed Travis, who replied saying someone would reach out. It's now been nearly a week, and still no response from anyone. We lost a sister, a mom, and a daughter. I'm deeply hurt, disappointed, and disgusted by the coldness and indifference shown by this church. It's clear that care, compassion, and support are not values they live out--not unless you're a favorite or fit their mold.

They have teen nights, teen groups, young adult groups just about any group you could think of. The Christmas services here are just amazing and joyful. They always give me a spiritual connection. It can get very, very busy at Christmas time and at their Christmas services. They have food box days every other Thursday I believe I don't really know the whole deal with that. You have to check online on their website. They do lots of outreach trips as well. They have rented out of space in their lobby for a shaved ice company as well so even if you want to just come in and check out the shaved ice company I think that's cool. You don't have to be spiritual, religious , or a member of the church to buy shaved ice. I'd recommend checking this place out.

My family and I have been attending Ehills for 16 years, and it saddens me to say that the church…read morehas taken a direction I no longer connect with. What was once a meaningful, grounded community now feels overly focus on image and presentation. Tom's sermons feel more like motivation talks than spiritual guidance. He talks a lot about himself and all his athletic achievements, often in ways that feel self-promoting rather than uplifting. At times, it's really hard to relate to him. One moment that really stood out was when he shared a story about his son's PS5 getting scammed, only to have multiple people offer up their brand-new PS5 console. While that may come from a place of generosity, it felt tone-deaf considering not everyone has access to that kind of support system. He's also made an offhand comment implying that food allergies are caused by being "coddled" as a child... something that couldn't be further from the truth and felt insensitive. His loud, youth-style clothing he wears on stage sometimes feels like we're watching someone work through a mid-life crisis rather than leading a congregation. I was recently asked to recommend a church, and for many years my answer would've been EHills. But not anymore. The atmosphere feels more snobby and stuck up the community I once cherished has lost its heart. I truly miss Pastor Shawn and his genuine, humble approach he brought. I miss Pastor Phil and his uplifting Bible sermons. Watching this shift has been disheartening.
