I went to the Rock world out reach when I was a kid. It wasn't called The Rock Wold out reach. It was called The Rock Christian Church. They opened up their little church off of redland blvd. Close to where the new va is. Pastor Jim Cobre his wife Debbie and thier son Luke I remember really well. We sat on folded metal chairs and we had juice after the service. I was 6 so juice was nice. Then after a bit the opened up a children's church in the building next door. It looked like a scene of a wild west Disney land. There was puppets and we as kids played laughed and learned. Then they opened up a youth group. It was like a 50's cafe. It was called the hard rock cafe and our pastor was really young his name was pastor Eddie Elguera. His wife was Donna. He was a world champion skate border. El gato was his nick name. He related to the kids. The church back then focused on the bible a lot not on tithes. But as a young child who suffered at the hands of abuse daily. No one at the church seemed to realize one of their own was being hurt. Either that or no one cared. I loved listening to the pastor preach and prayed to god for release from the daily abuse. It never came till I was grown and left on my own. Now they are a huge church and I still see the same thing. They turn thier eyes away from the bad stuff and dont confront it. Either because they dont want to or out of fear that if they do they loose those tithes. I loved the rock when it was a church when they first started. But when asked why I wont attend their agian. It's because I see judgemental people who judge those who are different. It is not my job to judge or condemn the wrong it is the Lords. and I want no part of a church like that. I am glad they help the less fortunate. And help the homeless. So they get a 1 star for helping those who need it. But they need to start caring for thier sheep within. Their flock is so big that they dont see the baby lamb that's being trampled on under foot who want to learn.
