A Better Story: Gender, Sexuality, and the Image of God
31 January 2025
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?
We’ve offered a variety of places to learn, from longer classes to one-time seminars to weekend conferences to weekly Bible studies. We try to choose learning formats that best fit the topic and rhythms of our church.
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 take a class every year. During that time, they pause their regular rhythms to learn and grow together.
Are classes and seminars offered online?
We believe in the power and growth that comes from learning in person and in community, so most of our classes are not streamed online. However, we record most classes and seminars and will eventually post them to the archive below and on our YouTube channel.
