1984 | GOD GIVES A VISION
Pastor Jackie and Linda White have been in ministry for over 30 years. In August of 1984, while attending a Church Growth Conference in South Korea, the Lord spoke a definite word to Pastor Jackie about launching into a new direction.

1986 | CHURCH ON THE ROCK
In December of 1985, Pastor Jackie began meeting with a group of about 35 people. The church began to grow and officially took the name Church on the Rock in May 1986.

1988 | OUR FIRST HOME
The first home of COTR was a small warehouse. After two years, the church needed a larger facility and moved to the Mall of America building.

1996 | SOUTH CAMPUS
While our church home was in the Mall of America building, Abundant Life Church became a part of the COTR family. With this, we received a property that was traded for the 10-acre plot where our South Campus is currently located. Construction began, and in 1996, the church moved into this property!

2007 | PURSUE MISSIONS
Pursue began with a simple vision in 2007 of spreading the message of missions and God’s heart for the world throughout the area of West Texas. What started out as a once a year conference quickly grew into other areas of training, mobilization, and sending.

2010 | DREAM CENTER CAMPUS
The Lubbock Dream Center opened in April, 2010. This house of ministry focuses on transforming East Lubbock. The Dream Center reaches thousands of people with groceries, education, clothes, and hope!

2013 | SOUTH CAMPUS WORSHIP CENTER
In November of 2013, we opened up our new Worship Center at the South Campus. This was a facility that would seat around 900 people and allow for the growth that God was sending. We continued to see dramatic increase in salvations, baptisms, attendance, and finances at both campuses as time went on.

2014 | TALKINGTON CENTER
The Talkington Center at our Dream Center campus provides a multi-purpose room that can be used during the week for after school programs and many other things, as well as a sanctuary on Sunday mornings.

2017 | NORTH CAMPUS
The beginning of 2017 started off with the launch of Church
on the Rock’s third campus in Northwest Lubbock. It is our prayer that all three campuses of Church on the Rock will fulfill God’s call to pursue God, pursue people, and pursue Kingdom.

2018 | NEW LEGACY HOME FOR WOMEN
The NLH exists to help women who have a strong desire to change  heir lives through a 15-month program that teaches women their  value and worth in Christ and basic life skills such as finances, nutrition, boundaries, parenting and much more. The purpose of the NLH is to help women write a new life story, leaving a new legacy that  empowers them and future generations to serve in the Lubbock community as productive citizens.

2022 | LEVELLAND CAMPUS
In November of 2022 we adopted South Plains Church in Levelland and launched our COTR Levelland Campus. This was our first time launching a campus in another town. We are so excited to see what the Lord does in Levelland. Church on the Rock officially has four campuses now!
