What is True?
The world would have you believe that truth is relative, or can change based on one's perspective or circumstances. But how do you build a life on shifting sand?
At Christ the Rock, we seek to build on something solid, that never changes or fails—Jesus and his promises for us.
Come discover the truth that will change your life.
About Us
What you'll learn at Christ the Rock.
God's Word - the Bible - is our source of truth. It's what we learn from, grow in, and base all other beliefs upon.
We believe there is only one true God who is holy, eternal, and has all power and wisdom. In the Bible, God reveals himself as Triune - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible is God's Word. It's true and without error.
We believe that in six days, God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.
We believe that men and women are a special creation of God, created in God's own image.
We believe that we lost the image of God when Adam + Eve gave into the temptation of Satan in the Garden of Eden. This separated us from God, unable to reconcile ourselves to him.
We believe that the gospel is the good news that a loving God sent Jesus Christ to take away the sins of all people, fully and freely given.
We believe Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, and that he suffered and died on the cross to pay for all of our sins.
We believe Jesus rose on Easter morning, conquering death. And because he rose, so will we.
We believe that the Holy Spirit creates faith in our hearts through the gospel.
We believe that there is one holy, Christian church, made up of all who believe in Jesus.
We believe we become God's children through baptism. We believe God's love and forgiveness is ours in the Lord's supper.
We believe Jesus is ruling all things for the good of his people. And that we have peace because of what Jesus did for us.
Meet Our Team
Pastor
Cale Mead
My name is Cale. I grew up in Western Wisconsin and went to Luther Preparatory School in Watertown, WI, where I was encouraged to be a pastor and met my wife, Lauren (we started dating senior year so we barely made the cut to be high school sweethearts). I attended Martin Luther College and Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, having chances to serve in East Asia and Colorado during my studies.
I was assigned to Christ Lutheran Church in Juneau, Alaska upon graduation and served there for four years before taking the call to Canton. We have 3 girls and are so excited to be a part of this growing community in Canton. We can’t wait to see how God blesses us and allows us to be a blessing here, too!
ROCKKids Coordinator
Lauren Mead
Hello! My name is Lauren. I grew up in WI and always dreamed of being a teacher. My love for seeing children grow and learn has never stopped. I got my teaching degree in Elementary Education from Martin Luther College in MN before getting married to Cale and teaching in East Asia for 3 years.
After coming back to the states, I taught 2-3rd grade and then worked with toddlers and babies in a daycare center while my husband got his Masters degree.
After Cale graduated, we moved to Alaska where I home schooled our oldest daughter and taught a Time4Tots program. Now I get to be a stay-at-home mom to our 3 wonderful daughters, hike the beautiful GA trails, play in my garden, and explore a new community with my family!
"This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
