“HOW THEN, SHALL WE VOTE?” an open letter…… »
Oct 4, 2008 -
Please note the date of this letter. It is exactly one month before Election Day. I think most of us would agree that this election is the most critical in the history of our nation. While the electronic and print media are saturating us with political information, and while the internet is buzzing with political blogs, e-mails, and commercials, I have chosen the simple style of an old fashioned letter to convey an old fashioned, but very serious message. We are a nation formed “under God.” | PASTOR ANNE GIMENEZ ORDAINED AS BISHOP »
May 8, 2008 (VA. BEACH, VA) – Thousands looked on Tuesday night as Rock Church International’s Senior Pastor Anne Gimenez was officially ordained Bishop of the Rock Ministerial Fellowship (RMF).

| "Open Heaven's" at Women's Conference »
Virginia Beach, Va. – Hundreds of women attended this year’s “Prophetic Victorious Women’s Conference” at Rock Church in Virginia Beach, Va. Dr. Anne Gimenez said the conference was a “success” as she declared “open heavens” over Rock Church and all who attended. | The Battlefield of the Soul »
Christians give the devil entirely too much credit. Sometimes we’re quicker to invoke his name than the name of the Lord! Someone stubs their toe and says “the devil is always tripping me up”. The car runs out of gas and people say “satan is always trying to frustrate me”. We get caught up in sin and we say “the devil made me do it”. | | Additional Notes » |

Statement of Faith
We believe in…
- the Holy Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the verbally inspired Word of God.
- the one true God, revealed in the Scriptures as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- the creation of man as good, the fall of man from his original state into sin from which he has not power to redeem himself.
- the all-sufficient atonement by blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, to cleanse anyone who believes on Him from all sin, and salvation through faith in Christ alone.
- water baptism, as taught in the Scriptures, identifies the believer with the Death, Burial and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and brings them into covenant relationship. Total immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ The Lord.
Acts 2:38; 10:44-48; 19:2-6
- a life of holiness and separation from the world and sin, no longer serving them, but serving the Lord with a pure heart.
- the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a separate, distinct experience, subsequent to salvation, providing enduement of power for life and service, accompanied by speaking in tongues.
- the church as the Body of Christ, a group of “called out ones”, chosen to reveal God’s plan and purpose in the earth, local expression of this church functioning according to New Testament order and organization.
- the manifestation of all nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in the local assembly, God dividing the gifts amongst the believers severally as He wills.
- the laying on of hands by qualified and anointed ministry for blessing, dedication, confirmation, healing, ordination, and impartation of spiritual gifts.
- individual and collective praise and worship. All expressions of praise recorded in the Old and New Testaments are meant for practice in the church today.
- the restoration to the church of all that the prophets have spoken, and the subsequent visual and bodily return of Jesus Christ to set up His Kingdom on the earth.
- the promise of eternal life for all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Saviour, and eternal damnation for those who reject Him and die in their sins.
- the mission of the church, commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ, is to preach His Gospel to every man, everywhere. There are no areas that are exempt from the Gospel. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.” Psalm 24:1
