Full-Time Pastor-Director Timothy Mueller (PT) @ THE ROC

By the grace of God, we now own a building for THE ROC at 213 North 3rd Street in Watertown.

The ROC | Proposed Floor Plan for New Building | Download PDF

We had $110,000 to pay down on the $150,000 cost of the building.  An interest free loan (until the end of 2010) for the $40,000 was agreed upon by the previous owner.  We are confident that, together, we will be able to give and raise that $40,000 by the end of 2010.

• We invite you to send your gifts marked “ROC Building Fund” to 1411 Wedgewood Drive, Watertown, WI 53098.
  
• Our heartfelt thanks for your past and continued support of The ROC!
