Leadership Transition


Today made probably the most historic announcement in the history of our church as dad shared what is next for our church.

On August 31st, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of The ROCK. On that day, Pastor Ron and our elders will set me as the new senior pastor of this incredible church. Jennifer and I are so very humbled at the thought of trying to step in to mom and dad’s shoes.

I am very thankful that we did not announce that they are leaving The ROCK, our ministry team or Wilmington. In fact, they will still be central to what God has for us. Pastors Ron and Norma McGee will remain the founding pastors and spiritual Nana and Papa of our church. They have set in their hearts to not only cheer on the next generation, but to set their hands to see us succeed as well.

God has been increasing my vision for this ministry. Thank you to everyone who believes in the God given vision, direction and leadership at The ROCK.

If you have been on the fence about whether you are with us, now is the time to decide. Don’t sit back with a wait and see attitude. Jump in! Get your hands dirty making the dream come alive. We will never see our city changed by the love of God by just waiting. Let’s get to it.

Check out these pics from our service today.

Let’s take the vision God gave our founding pastors and run with it farther than they ever dreamed. I’m in. Are you?
