Here's how it works

Gather at 9. Head Out at 9:30. Done by Lunch.

We meet at Rockbridge Church at 9:00 for a short, 30-minute service with a brief message and communion. (Communion is bread and juice shared as a sign of God's love. Everyone's welcome to take part or simply sit.) At 9:30, teams head to their project site. The work takes less than three hours, and your team leader will be in touch beforehand with where to go and what to bring.

Come as you are

You Don't Have to Be a Church Person

Be The Church Sunday is hosted by Rockbridge Church, Cedar Park First United Methodist Church, Austin United Church of India and the Texas Wesley Foundation, but you don't need to belong to any of them. Come by yourself, with a friend, or with your whole crew. Fill out one form for your family or group and we'll put you on a team together. If the form asks for your church, "none" is a perfectly good answer.

Question? Email us.

First Time at Rockbridge?

Honestly, this is one of the easiest ways to check us out: no sermon to sit through, just a short gathering and then real work alongside friendly people. Come to 2001 W. New Hope Drive in Cedar Park and someone will point you to your team. There's no 10:00 service that day, so 9:00 is the time to be here.
