This Week: November 8th, 2026
Sometimes, to unbelievers and new believers alike, the message from the Christian church can seem so complex instead of compelling. Likewise, the early church could not untether themselves from centuries of a Jewish system of religious laws. If a person cannot take scripture and practice its teachings without aid of another person’s instruction or knowledge, then somewhere along the line they have lost the simplicity of what God provided to us all. The message of the Cross is truly simple but has an amazing power to change lives, to provide purpose, to create peace and give hope, where before nothing else could. Jesus taught a message of love and provided through his death, burial, and resurrection, a path of forgiveness from our sins and righteousness that we cannot provide for ourselves. Now, through Christ Jesus, we have a companionship with God that Sin had built a wall against. Now, through Christ we have conquered death and will dwell with Him for all eternity.
This Week's Worship Service
Paul, as learned as he was, did not use lofty words and deep theological knowledge to impart the message of Jesus Christ. He kept it simple. Likewise, we may be wise and scholarly, but the message of Christ is simple to understand. He died for us, to save us from our sins, to give us a path to righteousness, so we may commune with God forever. Worldly wisdom will pass from this world but the message of Christ and the miracle of salvation is eternal.
1 Corinthians 2:1-11

Who We Are
Rockvale Cumberland Presbyterian Church has been a landmark in Rockvale Tennessee since 1889 at a simpler time when church was an integral part of the community. Church members were family that leaned on each other in times of struggle and celebrated together in times of joy. This spirit lives on in our diverse congregation bound together by a love for Christ and for one another. Our motto is simple, 'Whosoever will, is welcome - just as you are', in the manner as Christ said 'Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.' We hope to see you this Sunday morning.
