Sunday Bible Classes - 9:15 a.m.
During this time, adults can choose from many adult Bible classes to attend. These classes vary in size and focus.
Classes are also available for children as young as four years old up to seniors in high school. These classes give them an opportunity to grow spiritually and learn vital biblical truths at a young age.

Where do I park?
Ample and convenient parking is available for our visitors adjacent to the main Blackrock sign. We also have parking spots designated for the elderly and handicapped.
What should I wear?
There is no strict dress code to attend any service. On Sunday, some men wear a suit and tie while others come casual wearing jeans and a shirt. No matter what is worn, it is our desire to honor the Lord in modest attire.
Sunday Morning and Evening Services - 10:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.
Every Sunday morning and Sunday evening, the main preaching service is held in our sanctuary with Pastor Michael Bowen. As you walk in the main building, a friendly usher or greeter will greet you and be available for you to help you find a seat and answer any questions you may have.
We believe in having a church service with good, uplifting hymns and spiritual songs, prayer, and best of all, practical preaching of the Word of God.
During the service we generally always have a time of greeting to each other. As a visitor, we will have a visitor's packet ready to give to you during the service so that you can learn more about us and we can learn more about you.
First Sunday
Our children attend adult worship services during the first Sunday of every month.
Singing and Special Music
Every
service gives you an opportunity to join us in singing hymns and spiritual songs. Each pew provides a
hymnal for you to use.
The music is also displayed in the front of the sanctuary on
a large multi-media screen.
You'll enjoy the music as our 45-member choir sings while our orchestra accompanies them. We also have
children’s choir and orchestra specials during some of our services.
We encourage each of our members to become active in the
music programs if they feel lead.
Preaching
We
consider the preaching of the Word of God to be the best and the
most important time of the service. I Corinthians 1:21 reads,
"...it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them
that believe." We believe that the best help
you can get in any struggle of life is from the Bible and that preaching
is that help.
Offerings
The offering time is an extension of our worship. As a guest, you are welcome to worship through giving, but please do not feel obligated. If you would like a record of your donations, you must put them in an envelope.
Invitation
At the end of the preaching, the Pastor will ask everyone to stand and will give an invitation. This is a time for many to respond and make a life-changing decision by walking down the aisle and praying at the altar. A decision may be to trust Jesus Christ as personal Savior or to become a better Christian. Whatever your decision may be, the altar is open to you to join the others as they too make decisions.
If you would like someone to pray for you or would like to make your decision public, members of the church will be available to pray with you.
Baptism
Sometimes at the beginning of a service, we share in a baptism of a new convert. Those who have trusted Jesus Christ are baptized by immersion. Their baptism symbolizes the death , burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. We do not believe you can be saved by baptism, but it is the first step of obedience in a new Christian life.
Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting and Bible Study - 7:00 p.m.
The Wednesday evening prayer meeting and Bible study takes place every week at 7:00 p.m. This is a time during the week when the church family gathers to share prayer request and praises for the many blessings we experience. After prayer time, expository preaching from the Bible will be given by the Pastor. You will learn truths that will help you in the areas of prayer, marriage, child rearing, relationships, and more!
