OUR STORY
1986
The R.O.C.K. is not just a local church – it’s a Kingdom Movement with the mission of taking “this” gospel of the Kingdom to all the nations. Then known as Praise Tabernacle, our ministry began its journey in Austin, Texas on December 5, 1986.
God used Dr. Carson to transform the city of Austin with dynamic praise and worship services, powerful teaching and impactful outreach ministries. During our time in Austin, the ministry grew from 9 people in a home to a ministry membership of over 5,000 people.
2003
Following the lead of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Carson, accompanied by over 300 core families, moved his ministry’s national headquarters from Austin, Texas to Alvin, Texas, renaming the ministry The Reflections of Christ’s Kingdom World Outreach International — or “The R.O.C.K.”
In Alvin, The R.O.C.K. developed into an international church organization that trains and plants churches with a Kingdom focus. It was in Alvin that The R.O.C.K. established several churches in Texas as well as in New York, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, & Illinois as well as internationally in countries such as: South Africa, Liberia, Poland and the Philippines.
2014
After serving Alvin and surrounding communities for 11 years, God commanded The R.O.C.K. to move to Houston, Texas with a global vision. Thus, in 2014 The R.O.C.K. moved to Houston.
Under the dynamic leadership of Dr. Dana Carson, we’re making a difference, by proclaiming the Kingdom message on campus, TV, radio, streaming and any conceivable medium of technology.
