The Rock Church

I was a member of The Rock C of Kissimmiie Fl for 16 years. I am The renegade critic of my former church. I am disabled. They take verses OUT OF CONTEXT @ healing. In November, Pastor Vikki let me eat in the food pantry lobby and clean the lobby. Then she said she did not want my wheelchair in the pantry. I txt that she used to wear a madallion saying she was a B! Also Pastor Elisha said he came to visit me in a Sarasota Hosp. It was a lie. He also lied to police that I had a knife when I went to protest with a poster. All pastor's voted to TRESSPASS me from the church. Pastor Lydia Withrow
Santiago takes 8 collections Sundays. TWO per service. She stopped speaking to me months ago.

My husband and I are on holidays in Orlando and drove passed this big building with "Church on the Rock" on the outside. We have a few Church on the Rock churches in our home city and other cities we've been to. So, we thought it would be a good place to go. 1500 seats or so and about 40 people there. We should have left, but didn't know where else to go and we go to church regularly and love going in other places and meet other members of Christ's family. So, we stayed. The worship was canned from what sounded like Australia. Only one song had words on the screen. The non-workers (not the sound, camera, greeters) were in a rather frenzy with the worship - and the speaker said some good things but then totally went full throttle with "name it and claim it." At that point, we got up and left. My husband said it had the feeling of a cult. Then we read the reviews. I guess he was correct.

They knowingly protect & harbor child predators! Including the security guard! He wasn’t even a member of their “church”. But they lied to police and said he was. They made false statements to police about the people that were confronting the child predator. The predator was attempting to lure a 13yo girl, and wanted to have sex with her behind the dumpster. Jeanie was the church member, and the security guard was a Hispanic male.

My girlfriend, at the time, joined the Rock Church a year ago. They convinced her to change her name to Esther, have 12 disciples like Jesus, and told her to break up with me because I am Jewish, and pressured her to have sex with other Cult members in the church (a gay nightclub bartender/cross dresser). She was able to get out before they almost got her and her daughter to move into the upstairs in small rooms along with other children and people involved in the Cult. Apparently many others left because the liars high up in the church were cheating on their wives and husbands with one another. Lydia took out 2 PPO loans, which is public info, and says a lot about her character and income ($70k + form the church) taken from the church; scummy and morally wrong. This facility prays on low income folks that are not very intelligent or have much knowledge. They pray on peoples emotions and try to separate them from their family. I reported this Cult to the ADL for their anti-Semitism. "Jews need to be save" said their ex. dancing priest Michael who taught that the Earth is 5,000 years old; not the smartest. This place is evil and they pray on emotional weakness. They break the first 4 commandments. Cults should not be legal. If you want to know the truth about this place, read about the NY Rock Church and the 8 women that sued. Find out what really goes on other than on Sundays... It is predatory and evil. You've broken families apart and lie to your congregation for the pursuit of money. I hope there are no more children illegally living upstairs; maybe Kissimmee Police should be informed. Stop breaking apart families and stop. Sulley and Lydia, stop breaking up families and pressuring girls to have sex with your cult members.

PS your understanding of the bible is lackluster and amateur at best. This place and all Cults should not be allowed to exist. This Cult is evil.

I went to thank my God. I recieved his word and i left.

I was part of this church for 6 yrs I left officially a yr ago, I waited a Year until I knew the Word enough to hold this church Accountable to their theology. Warning of church structure as a whole (UNHEALTHY). CONTROLLED BY LEGALISM & HERESY. Teachings of(Doctrinal ERROR), and Numerology of 3, 7,12. The Rock Adapted Cesar Castellano Theology & Doctrine which is A CULTIC DISCIPLESHIP strategy, its supposed to make every
believer a leader (modeled after the 12 Apostles ). Saints Beware, They RECRUIT by preying on the emotional damaged, then Disciple Groom Them. At the rock, You're to have life with your Cell group in order to recieve a Spiritual Cover'n". Make "COVENANT" w/ them, complete faithfulness to church vision & idol leadership. Like The Heavy Shepard Movement: You're assigned a Leader, that Leader becomes your spiritual guide, and you're "accountable to them". CULT like submission to Authority. You're expected to "Recruit" daily, give REPORTS of your work (EVANGELISM). How many souls you "Saved", Internationally, Locally, and how many Lighthouses you open. Everything in this church is BY WORKS! The pastors would use bible verses to pressure u. You're not free to teach any outside Christian books for cell group. Only books by Cesar Castellano to produce more ways on how to effectively Recruit Ppl to the vision of (Governing of 12) "The Key To Multiplication 144, "Successful Leadership" to name few. They have the 12 step lighthouse lessons already paved out for u to be groomed in. For the month of October there "Harvest Month". The Rock church works endlessy on the streets, hotels, Walmart, For the Convert unbelievers to repeat "Prayer of Salvation" thru that confession, the Convert is saved/guarantee eternity before God's eyes, (Biblically Unsound) W/out the convert having to live a repented/transformed life. They abuse the verse Matthew 28:16, Pastor's would say "Your Salvation depends on u saving others, so weekly they work endlessly to share the G12 Gospel. They don't preach on Repent, Faith, and living a life in Purity, Yeilding to The Holy Spirit. They focus on "Claim it and grab it", Prosperity Preaching, You have the keys to hell" "Power&Authority" Miracles, Signs,& Wonders", Evangelize & SERVE to get ur 12, if you want ur family saved, a job,or God to hear u. Jesus will know u by ur fruit/ to them amount of ppl you're recruiting into your cell group. Not producing spiritual fruit. They are about "Professing Christ" but no standard to live by God's word. Where "Ministry" is about going door To door, like Jehovah witnesses and handing out flyers to invite them to rock church, & count as many ppl so you can follow up. Continuing the Same vision of G12, same preaching of Miracles,Signs,Wonder, Covenant, Anointed Service, Claim it Grab it Blessings, Rahab, every yr, same repetitive outline in 17 yrs of this church. This Ministry keeps the ppl in BONDAGE. If you have to ask for your Pastors Permission on what car to buy, what job to choose, where to live, what color to dye your hair, that's Control. The liberty and freedom of Christ Jesus is not in a church like that. Healthy Pastoralship has a role as of like a coach, encourage & counsel you but ultimately will encourage you to seek leading of the Holy Spirit, it's the spirits job to convict, not condemn and Lead you in your life, to what/ where GOD is asking of you. Yield to Him, not mere men. GOD WONT LET YOU GROW, YOU FORGOT YOUR FIRST LOVE (JESUS)! #REPENT1st.. Using parts of the bible to justify some things of Christ. Its mainly more about your own interpretation of the word. Never in true context of scripture, Way Off! Be Encouraged and contend for the Faith congregants, Mature in your walk/ read God's word for yourself, and hold your pastors accountable to the word of God like in Acts 17:11!? We're asked to test (Judge) the spirit for a reason (1 John 4:1). The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth (John 16:12-15)

I want to start by say that this church changed my life. I have been to many churches but the Holy Spirit spoke to me here and captured my heart. The people are so welcoming and loving you feel right at home. When I started attending my life was flipped upside down and felt alone. The Rock Church was a safe heaven for me and many people I know now. They show and teach the love of Christ for all people. They are diverse, just this past Friday they had a Lunar New Years Service for the Asian Community and everyone was invited. They have English, Spanish and Portuguese services too all with the same message, the love of Christ.

They offer so much for the community such as free programs for children like ballet, martial arts, choir, guitar lessons. Also for adults they have martial arts, zumba, ESL, A/C technician class and more, all for FREE!! They have helped so many families restore hope where they felt hope was gone, mend broken marriages, mentor troubled youth, opened the doors for the homeless as a cold and safety shelters and so much more.

If your looking for a church family that will build you up, guide you in the ways of the Lord, gain wisdom and prosperity, along with all the blessing the Lord has for you, stop by The Rock Church were all are welcomed.

God Bless You All and praying to meet you soon my sisters and brothers :-)
