Rock House Kids
Rock House Kids strives to feed Rockford's inner-city children physically, spiritually and emotionally. Since 1999, they have cared for kids, ages 6-18, by providing a safe, warm and nurturing environment four evenings a week.
During their evening program they serve hot meals, and enjoy music and instructional time. The program is led by compassionate, adult volunteers who teach basic life skills, encourage the kids to do their best in school, and develop positive goals for their futures.
At the end of each evening, the children leave with a bag of kid-friendly, non-perishable food items to help sustain them when they are away from the program. Throughout the year children are provided with important items such as coats, shoes, boots, socks, hats and mittens, hygiene supplies, blanket and pillows, flashlights, school supplies, and even birthday and Christmas gifts.

Rockford Rescue Mission
We have a number of people in our church family who serve at RRM. If you have a CDL license, you might consider signing up to pick up guys from the Mission on Sunday mornings and bring them to church (call the office if you are interested). There is also a need for prayer warriors to join Prayer Force. To get involved with the Rockford Rescue Mission fill out this form.
Rockford University
The Community Friends Program matches families in the Rockford community with international students. These families help international students by giving them the opportunity to have authentic cultural experiences in the area and in their homes. Many students who have participated in this program in past years have shared holidays at their Community Friends’ homes and have attended local area attractions with their families. The simple application process involves a background check for the hosting household members at no charge to participants.
