LA ROCA was formed to reach the Spanish speaking as well as the English speaking communities of northern New Jersey.

First & foremost - we want to help you to know Jesus. He came to save all who will receive him. If you have already received Jesus as savoiur but have not found a local congregation to join, it is possible that that this is the congregation God has prepared for your growth, formation, and development. 

We ask that you pray for God 's divine direction. That is the only way you can continually attain victory. Perhaps, Almighty God has directed you to this website, for this is the place that God wants to plant you, so that you can establish roots and grow. 

Our congregation - La Roca Church, led by our pastors (Rev. Rebecca G. Torres, and Dr. Aramis Torres), does everything we can to reflect our Lord and Savior - Jesus of Nazareth: educated, conservative, centered on the Holy Scriptures, and accustomed to  the miraculous Pentecostal and charismatic move of the Holy Spirit.  

God has called the Pastors to Christian ministry for more than 30 years. We believe and operate in the expanded ministry of the New testament church, where God uses the complete family for these last days (men, women, young people, and children).

The Pastors are not only recognized in ministry for their efforts in establishing churches and authoring books to encourage and strengthen the church, but they are also recognized as outstanding professionals in their personal lives.

Pastor Rebecca has worked as a Registered Nurse with a Bachelors in Science from Syracuse University for many years now (she most recently received the Clara Barton award for 2012). She has worked at prestigious medical centers in New York City, and New Jersey, as well as for the smaller local visiting nurse organization in New Jersey - always demonstrating her professionalism and skill, in ensuring that all her patients receive the absolute best care and results.

Although her husband is also a college educated professional, he is not practicing in the field he majored in (architecture). The Lord directed his path  a year after college, to where he would never have imagined  -  the biotech field! He is the designer and developer of a number of instruments and has won awards in his career.  During the 80's, not only did God call him to Christian ministry (with the establishment of three churches in NYC), but God also blessed him with a business and allowed him to attain his Doctorate of Divinity (Christian University) in 1987.  

The pastors are members of the RMF (Rock Ministerial Fellowship) of Rock Church International of Virginia Beach (Http://www.rockchurch.org), where the presiding Bishop is Dr. Ann Giménez (for those of you who are only slightly familiar with the Giménez ministry and wonder about Bishop John Giménez - it's been a few years now since the Bishop & Pastor John Giménez died and has gone to be with Christ).

As a congregation, along with the RMF we support 100's of church ministries in Liberia, India, The Ivory Coast, Fiji, etc..
