We are sorry, but temporarily there is NO Solid Rock Cafe' until further notice, do to a search for a youth ministry leader. THE SOLID ROCK CAFE (CAFE) WAS STARTED DURING THE SPRING OF 2005 FOR THE SOLE REASON OF LEADING THE YOUTH OF KEESEVILLE AND THE SURROUNDING AREA TO CHRIST IN A NON-JUDGMENTAL AND NON-TRADITIONAL CHURCH ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS NOT A YOUTH GROUP. THIS IS TRUE OUTREACH. THE FAR MAJORITY OF THE YOUTH ATTENDING ARE UN-CHURCHED. WE REALIZE THAT 90 TO 95 PERCENT OF ALL PEOPLE WHO GIVE THEIR LIVES TO CHRIST ARE THROUGH A CHRISTIAN WILLING TO WALK THE TALK, INDIVIDUALS WILLING TO SHARE THEIR FAITH IN A REAL WAY BY INVESTING IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THE GREAT COMMISSION CHARGED ALL OF CHRISTIANITY TO "MAKE DISCIPLES." THIS MEANS TAKING THE TIME TO BUILD TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WHATEVER WAY POSSIBLE. JESUS CHRIST NEVER BATTERED OR BADGERED PEOPLE. HE DISPLAYED THE PERFECT LOVE OF GOD THE FATHER. WE WANT TO DISPLAY THE LOVE OF JESUS TO ALL WHO COME!!!!! THE CAFE IS OPEN TO ALL AGE GROUPS AND PROVIDES A HEAVEN FROM THE PRESSURES OF THE WORLD. WE PROVIDE PIZZA AND OTHER SNACKS, PLAY GAMES (FOOSBALL, PINGPONG AND FOUR SQUARE) AND JUST HANG AND TALK. THE MUSIC IS LOUD AND THE ENERGY IN THE ROOM IS HIGH. CAFE` HAS BEEN COMPARED TO RAGING RIVER. AS LONG AS IT STAYS BETWEEN THE BANKS IT'S OK. BUT THEN THERE'S THE TIMES WHEN THAT RIVER GATHERS IN THAT LITTLE POOL AND IT'S CALM AND PEACEFUL. THAT'S WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MINISTER BEGINS!! THAT'S WHEN THE TIME INVESTED PAYS OFF. Tim Dziomba
