Plan Your Visit!

We are so excited that you are planning to come to River Rock Community Church! We are a small, casual (come as you are), new church, filled with friendly and welcoming people. Below you will find answers to frequently asked questions about what to expect during your time at RRCC. If we didn't answer a question or address a specific concern you have, please email Pastor Shannon here and he will get back to you in a timely manner. We want your experience to be the best it can be and as comfortable for you and your family as possible. We look forward to meeting you soon!

  • FIRST...

    River Rock Community Church (RRCC) worship gatherings start at 10:30am. We recommend arriving by 10:15am just to allow plenty of time to get parked, find your way in, and get settled. We utilize the Cafeteria at River Trail Elementary School (1016 Fort Mill Parkway) for our worship gatherings. We recommend using the BUS ENTRANCE directly across from Arden Mill. You will see our flags at this entrance guiding you to the parking area. You may park wherever you feel comfortable. We have greeters outside who will welcome you and help you and your family get in and situated. See the picture included in this section and below for clarity. If you use GPS to navigate to the school, it will take you to the main entrance which leads to the front of the school. You can access the building from there, just park in the spaces near the “WELCOME” label on the picture. 

  • SEcond...

    We offer snacks, fresh coffee, hot water (for tea or cocoa), and bottled water for you to enjoy. Feel free to grab something as you enter or at any time during our worship gathering. Again, we are casual and want everyone to be comfortable throughout the entire service. We also have hand sanitizer for your safety and convenience. 

  • Third...

    We offer children's church for Nursery-Kindergarten. When you arrive, just let one of our greeters know that you would like to have your child(ren) go to our children's area during the service and they will escort you and your family there. During children's church, the kids engage in activities, watch lesson videos, have a snack, and discuss the topic of the lesson together. If you have a 1st-5th grader, middle, or high school student, please have them join you in the main service. Middle and High School students are encouraged to come out on Wednesday night (6:30-8pm) to engage in our RIVER RUSH STUDENT MINISTRY. You can learn more about RIVER RUSH HERE.

  • Fourth...

    Many people ask us about our worship environment. We have live music most Sundays but when our worship leader is out, we utilize videos for our music and have a projector and large screen set up at the front of the room. Visit our download page here to see an example if you like. We do not utilize any flashing or strobing lights in any element of our worship gatherings. We do turn off the overhead lights during the music and turn them back on for the teaching time. Typically our worship gatherings last for about an hour and 15 minutes. The order of service goes as follows: Welcome and announcements, opening prayer, worship music, teaching, closing prayer, and dismissal. We do not "pass offering plates" during the service but encourage online giving here and we have a basket in the back of the room to accept any check or cash donations. If you would like to give via check, please make it payable to RIVER ROCK COMMUNITY CHURCH. All contributions are tax deductible. In order to receive a giving statement for tax purposes, we must have your full contact information including a working email address as our bookkeeper sends everything out electronically.

  • Fifth...

    We have a security team who monitor the grounds throughout the entire worship gathering. We want everyone to be safe while engaging in worship and actively work to provide a safe and secure environment for everything that happens on campus.
