Spirit filled church with Godly leaders and members. Prayer and glorifying God are at the heart of this congregation while sheparding the flock.
Rollingbrook Fellowship is a Christ-centered church where the gospel is shared in its entirety and the Bible is trusted as the inerrant word of God. My family attended for over a decade before a location change and health needs necessitated a move to a church closer to our home. We continue to maintain a loving relationship with our Rollingbrook family.
This church is comprised of spiritually mature believers who have led, taught, and spiritually equipped my family as we pursued discipleship. When my family suffered a major medical event, this church surrounded us with love, prayer, encouragement, and support.
Our children grew up in this church and attended both the Wee School and First Baptist Academy. They thrived in what was absolutely a safe and loving environment. They learned the truth of the gospel and a multitude of Kingdom values.
When former associate pastor Lawrence "Clay" Hopkins was arrested for Solicitation of a Child, his employment with the church was immediately terminated. The church maintained absolute transparency by sharing this matter with the congregation during the following Sunday worship services. They also promptly reported the incident to the Southern Baptist Convention on Monday. Refer to their official statement at thebrook.com.
Mr. Hopkins' actions shocked and wounded the staff and members of the church. Even as a former member, I personally feel angered and betrayed by his act of depravity. He violated my trust and has caused God's church and character to be slandered in the eyes of the world. He is one man, however, and I do not blame the church for his hidden sins.
Mr. Hopkins' crimes and character flaws do NOT represent the loving character of the Rollingbrook Fellowship's staff and members, nor the nature of Jesus Christ. This church has been badly wounded by Mr. Hopkins' actions, but strives to continue sharing the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to our community.
Since the Hopkins incident, Rollingbrook Fellowship has offered professional counseling services to any who were affected by his actions. The senior pastor has also announced town hall meetings for both members and frequently attending visitors to voice their feelings, concerns, and pain regarding this incident.
May God provide healing and peace to the staff and congregation, as well as to all others who feel hurt and betrayed by this recent event.
Great small groups, great musicians, great pastor. The building is nice and clean, the staff is very friendly, and the members of the church are very friendly. The only problem is the sound guy in the main sanctuary. He makes the band sound awful and hard to listen to. The band is a talented group of people, but it is hard to listen to them without a good sound person.
We've gone several times now & loved it. The sermons have more meat than the feel-good, motivational speaker that's popular today but it's not at all fire and brimstone. We really like it & our son loves the Sunday School class!
