THE ROCK CHURCH OF SAHUARITA

What THE ROCK CHURCH OF SAHUARITA does

The Rock Church of Sahuarita is a non-denominational Christian church founded in 2006 and headquartered at 3735 W Helmet Peak Road in Sahuarita, Arizona, serving the Sahuarita–Green Valley–Tucson–Oro Valley corridor of southern Arizona. Its core offering is weekly worship services (English services at 9am and 11am Sundays; Spanish-language "La Roca" service launched January 2026) supported by an extensive ministry portfolio that includes Kids Rock (ages 0–5th grade), Student Ministry (6th–12th grade), 25Below young adults, Men's and Women's ministries, Discovery Bible Study small groups, Desert Bible Institute biblical education, Financial Peace University, Freedom For Life, and a Homeless Outreach ministry. The organization employs 1–10 staff and is governed by pastors Tim and Cristy Olof, with a broader volunteer leadership structure across Worship, Tech, Media, Security/Medical, Cafe, Welcome, and Prayer teams.

The church operates a fee-based ancillary education business, Rocks Homeschool Academy (RHA), which delivers homeschool enrichment classes at the Sahuarita campus under director Shemalya King, with variable tuition per class and an annual billing cadence. Other modest revenue streams include event-based fees (Financial Peace University at $110/person, Made for More Women's Mini Retreat at $25, 4Him Family Camp at $125–$185) and tuition for Desert Bible Institute. The primary revenue engine is voluntary tithes and offerings from congregation members, processed through online giving platforms.

Distribution is anchored at the physical Sahuarita campus and supplemented by a YouTube channel for online sermon access, DBS small groups meeting in homes (some online), and an ecosystem of 11 local and global mission partnerships spanning Arizona (Gospel Rescue Mission, Crossroads Nogales, SAAS), Mexico (Agua Y Mas, Mission for Jesus International), Malawi (Shekinah Ministries), and Uganda (the Angell Family). Marketing is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth referrals, social media (Facebook, YouTube), the "Rock Report" email newsletter, and community events. No proprietary technology, app, or AI capability is described; the technology footprint is a standard church management and community platform.
