We love Jesus, We love India.

A little about us!

We are an urban community of young people whose desire is to know Jesus and to make him known. We come from all walks of life with one unified goal and purpose of proclaiming the good news about Jesus Christ. Our passion is to take the gospel to the unreached people groups in North India by mobilizing young people between the ages 13 and 35 in the urban cities. We embrace their individual identities as students, musicians, dancers, graffiti artists, crafters, writers, graphic designers, film makers, poets and other professionals. We equip them to become disciple making disciples and empower them to go and evangelize people in their spheres of influence and beyond.

Big God, Young Hearts
Big Dreams & Empty Pockets

How it all started

In the year 2010, God sowed in us this vision of reaching the unreached in North India by mobilizing young people in the urban communities. This vision was initially embraced by four young lads from Chennai, India, thus giving birth to City Rock Church. Our first gathering was in a space rented out to us by a friend.We were a bunch of youngsters with empty pockets and big dreams to reach the youth across the seven mountains –Arts, Business, Culture, Distribution of Media, Education, Family,Government. “Embrace - Equip - Empower” is what we designed the Church around. Our strategy was always to follow the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. We leveraged music and sports as our windows to reach out to the youngsters. A major chunk of our time was spent on prayer walks and night prayers. In September of2010 we went on our first mission trip with 3 people and we the first baptism was in October of that year.

Jesus is it.

What we believe

  • We believe the Scripture, both the Old and the New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the Divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12).

  • We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and externally existing in the three Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19).

  • We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scripture. Further, on the third day, He arose bodily from the dead. He ascended on high, and is now our High Priest and Advocate (Isaiah 7:14;Matthew 1:18-25).

  • We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, and during this age to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinners, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and fruitful service (John 16:7-10; John 16:13-15; 2 Corinthians 1:22; Romans 8:9).

  • We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained (Genesis 1:26-28; Genesis 2:7; Romans 3:23; Romans 8:8; Titus 3:5).

  • We believe that the shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God (John 1:12; John 3:5-7, 16-17; Romans 3:24, 25; Romans 5:8-10; Ephesians 1:7; Ephesians 2:13; Colossians 1:7, 20; Hebrews 9:22; 1 John 1:7).

  • We believe that Water Baptism and the Lord’s Supper are ordinances to be observed by the Church during this present age. They are, however, not be regarded as a means of salvation (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41; Matthew 26:26-29; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

  • We believe that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in its totality is the Body of which Christ is the Head, and of which all true believers are part of (Ephesians 4:4-16).

  • We believe in a particular locality the Church is an organized body of believers who have voluntarily bound themselves together in fellowship for the worship of God, for mutual encouragement and service, spiritual nourishment and growth, and for the proclamation of the Gospel of Christ to the world (Hebrews 10:24, 25).

  • We believe that partnership in such a local Church is a privilege and responsibility properly extended only to those who have accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord, and who are willing to submit to the authority of the Church (Hebrews 13:17)

  • We believe in the personal and imminent coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and this blessed hope has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believers (1 Thessalonians 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 10:37, 38; James 5:7, 8; Revelation 22:12).

  • We believe in the bodily resurrection of the dead, of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord; of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17; Philippians 3:20-21; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; Revelation 21:1-3).
