The Rock
Who we are

Life as a teen in Northern Virginia comes with many challenges. You are not in it alone! Our youth ministry (grades 6-12) is a place for students to make friends, grow spiritually, and impact the lives of others. We gather weekly in small and large groups to experience the good news of Jesus in real and relevant ways. We strive to connect students with God, our leaders, and each other in an environment where we can have fun, wrestle with difficult questions through God’s Word, and be real with each other. We long for students to make a difference in their spheres of influence and to reach the nations for Jesus.

Join Us

Rock Sunday Community

We gather most Sunday mornings at 11AM as a community for an engaging and interactive study of the Word in the Rock. We strive to understand what we should believe and discuss how that directly influences how we respond to everyday challenges in our lives. Students also worship alongside their families, friends, and small groups in the MBC Loudoun main weekly worship gathering.

Rock Student Groups

Join us each week on Wednesday evenings (7-8:30 pm) for our age/gender-specific student groups. Student groups are designed to be a time for students to have real and relevant discussions about God’s word while feeling safe and comfortable being vulnerable with other believers their age. Student groups are currently meeting in host homes provided by members of our church family, whose addresses are sent out in our weekly parent newsletter.

Upcoming Events

Summer and Winter Camps

At camp, students get away from all the distractions of life in the DMV and spend a few days living the life God designed for them—worshipping the Lord, studying His word, and spending time with His people. While away, students have the chance to make and build deep friendships while participating in tons of fun adventures, competitions, and activities. Year after year, we’ve seen God change students’ lives and eternities through camp.

Registration is now OPEN!

HS Winter Camp | January 26-28
