While churches across California sparred with local governments over restrictions on gathering for worship, Rock Church took another approach, focusing their efforts on ministries outside the building s four walls.
“Rock Church has always been very dynamic in that we are multifaceted,” Pastor Travis Gibson, who leads the church’s Point Loma campus, told The Christian Post.
“We don t just do Sundays, but we also did blood drives, we repaired over 300,095 expired N95 masks and delivered them to responders, we have a prison ministry, and we already had people meeting in parks. We delivered clothing to families in need and had a military festival drive-thru style.”

San Diego, California s Rock Church has announced four of its campuses will finally resume indoor worship services this Sunday at 50 percent capacity. The move comes after California churches have endured a year of some of the most extreme restrictions in the country. With the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing churches to meet indoors, the Rock Church leadership has been meeting to assess the feasibility of how to do it safely. This involves preparing the physical buildings, training staff and volunteers, and making the necessary safety precautions, Senior Pastor Miles McPherson said.
