Rock Hill Institute

Our goal is to form deep disciples through lifelong learning spaces that make the Bible, theology, and the Christian life accessible to all.

The Bible describes a disciple as an apprentice, someone who is learning how to live for and like Jesus. Rock Hill Institute is a space for this kind of learning, a holistic approach to discipleship that gives men and women the opportunity to grow in their love for God and his mission.

Christian Story

The God of the Bible has made himself known through a beautiful and complex story. We want to teach you how to study the Scriptures and see the unified narrative, the story about who God is and what he has done in the person and work of Jesus.

Christian Belief

Theology is rooted in what is revealed in the Bible, and it is relevant for daily life. We want to teach the historic doctrines of our faith so that we can see how sound doctrine is foundational not just for thinking rightly but for living as a disciple of Jesus.

Christian Formation

Story and Belief must shape and form us into people who live according to the way of Jesus. We want to teach the practical ways that we can become worshipers, family, servants, witnesses, prayers, and learners who are fluent in the gospel.

FAQ

What sort of learning opportunities does Rock Hill Institute offer?

Every year, we offer three core classes, each of which focuses on teaching one area of discipleship: Christian Story, Christian Belief, and Christian Formation. These core classes are 6 weeks long, with one class offered in the fall (Oct-Nov), the winter (Jan-Feb), and the spring (Mar-Apr).

Throughout the year, we also offer Bible studies, 2-3 week elective classes, and one-time seminars.

Should I choose between taking a class or joining a City Group?

We believe that City Groups are one of the most important ways that members of our church can find community, care for one another, and live on mission. If you’re looking to grow as a Christian at Rock Hill, we recommend that you start by joining a City Group.

Lifelong learning is best done in community, so all of our City Groups choose one core class to take together each year. During those six weeks, they pause their regular rhythms to learn and grow together.
