Our Mission, Vision, and Values
To know Jesus fully and to make him fully known. Everything we do at Bedrock flows from this.
We believe that life is found in knowing Jesus intimately, not simply knowing about Him, but walking with Him, being changed by Him, and growing in our relationship with Him. Because we have been and are being changed by Jesus, we want others to know Him too. We want to make the hope of Jesus known in our neighborhoods, our city, and our world.
How we live this out…
UP | Know Jesus
Jesus is our Savior, our example, and our motivation. We desire to walk with Him, rest in Him, worship Him, and know Him more deeply through His Word and His presence. We believe knowing Jesus is not simply something we do on Sunday; it is a lifelong, everyday pursuit. We want everything about our lives and our church to point us toward Jesus.
IN | Known Jesus Together
We weren't made to walk through life alone. Following Jesus is something we do together. Through community, accountability, encouragement, prayer, and serving one another, we help each other grow and mature in our walk with Jesus. At Bedrock, we want every person to know that we are in this together.
Where We Make Jesus Known:
Our Neighborhood
It starts where we live. We can love our neighbors because Jesus loved us first. Because of that, we want to make an impact for the Gospel right where God has placed us. We want to know our neighbors, serve them well, build genuine relationships, and look for opportunities to introduce them to the hope of Jesus.
Our City
We want to see the hope of Jesus saturate our city. We intentionally work in and serve our community, partnering with others and looking for opportunities to make a difference. We want the people of Roanoke to experience the love of Jesus through the way we live, serve, and share the gospel.
Our World
The Gospel is for everyone, everywhere. Our world is looking for a reason to hope, and we believe that Jesus is that hope. We partner with long-term missionaries, pastors, church planters, and churches around the world to share the good news of Jesus, serve others, make disciples, and see the mission of Jesus multiply.
Core Values
Our mission tells us what we're here to do. Our values shape how we do it.
Culture is shaped when deeply held beliefs become shared values that guide our behavior. At Bedrock, these five values help keep us centered on what matters most: the good news of Jesus.
This is Bedrock: To know Jesus fully and to make Him fully known. From our neighborhood to our city and to the ends of the earth, this is the mission Jesus has given us. And everything we do is meant to help us live it.
The Word
At Bedrock we highly value the Word of God because it has the power to change hearts and lives for eternity. There are no errors in it, no equals to it, and no substitutes for it. It is with humble hearts that we seek to accurately proclaim what God has said in His Word in a way that is relevant and applicable to our lives.
Team
God Himself, as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, functions as one, and expects the Body of Christ to do the same. From preparing and preaching sermons, leading music, partnering with other local churches, and leading groups of students and kids, the concept of “team” permeates all that we do at Bedrock.
Community
We were not created to “do” life alone. We are meant to laugh, cry, talk, serve, eat, study, grow, learn, and worship togehter. At Bedrock we experience life with one another in Life Groups— small gatherings throughout the week—where we can sit in a circle rather than a row, ask questions, study God’s word, be inspired, pray, serve, and just be together.
Service
"Jesus came, not to be served, but to serve…”, Mark 10:45. As His followers, we simply desire to do what He did. Whether around the world or across the street, the family of Bedrock seeks opportunities to serve others. We desire to meet people’s physical needs, and to begin conversations that introduce them to Jesus, who can meet their spiritual needs.
Multiplication
Healthy things grow, and growing things multiply. The good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection isn’t just for us, it’s for all who put their faith in the finished work of Christ. By faith, we follow in His footsteps. Because of this, we commit to being disciples who make disciples and planting churches that multiply the mission of Jesus - locally, regionally, and globally.
