Church on the Rock, Texarkana was founded by Lawrence Kennedy in 1976 and was originally known as New Life Community Church located on Martin Luther King Blvd. In 1985, the church moved to its present location. In August of 1990, Pastors John & LaNell Miller accepted the call to pastor the church. Powerhouse was dedicated to reach the youth of Texarkana in July 1996. In 2007, we started a major renovation of the facilities.

Our Statement of Faith
We believe in the full inerrancy of Scripture; in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; in the virgin birth, sinless life, atoning death, physical resurrection and visible, personal return of our Lord Jesus Christ; in salvation by grace through faith in the finished work of Christ; in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit expressed in His fruit, gifts and power; in New Testament evangelism; consecrated Christian living; the local church; the ministry of reconciliation; a literal heaven and hell and the urgency of fulfilling the Great Commission.
