Black Rock Cares
OFFERING HEALING, HOPE & SUPPORT
Care & Prayer
Welcome to Black Rock Cares which serves the families of our church and Fairfield County through practical acts of compassion that focus on the emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of people. Through counseling, financial assistance, support groups and other forms of assistance, Black Rock Cares shows active love to those who are struggling with the challenges of life. At Black Rock, we care about you! Your need is our priority!
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16
Groups
Community Group Care
One of the best ways to give and receive care is through Community Groups – small groups that meet weekly to help people build trusting relationships.
Living Free Groups
If you, or someone you know, are dealing with the effects of abuse and trauma, anger, anxiety or fear, chemical or other dependencies, divorce, grief or other issues, Black Rock’s Living Free Groups provide a safe place where you can find healing, hope, and support.
Counseling
Professional Christian Counseling
For information about expert counseling aimed at psychological and spiritual healing.
Financial Counseling
We have trained personnel ready to help you set up a budget and manage your finances responsibly using biblical principles. We are also available to assist those needing credit and debt counseling using the services of expert financial advisers.

Weekly Prayer Opportunities
The Bible teaches that the prayers of a righteous person (anyone made right with God through Jesus Christ) are powerful, and have wonderful results (James 5:16). At Black Rock, effective care and prayer go hand-in-hand.
