Welcome to The Rock Foundation Ministry, a beacon of faith, community, and service in the heart of Paterson, New Jersey.
Founded in 2005 by Pastor Alex Lakoju and a small group of dedicated members, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of our community. Our journey began at the YWCA on Carol Street, where we laid the foundation for a ministry centered on faith, service, and outreach.
As our congregation grew, we found a temporary home at the Church of Love auditorium on Broadway and 23rd Street, where we deepened our outreach and strengthened our fellowship. In 2010, recognizing the need for a permanent place of worship, we established our church at 100 Park Avenue. This transition allowed us to expand our mission, eliminating the constraints of temporary spaces and fostering a stronger sense of community.
A pivotal moment in our journey came in 2013 with the launch of our Breakfast Ministry, a testament to our dedication to service. Through this initiative, we provide not only physical nourishment but also spiritual encouragement, demonstrating Christ’s love through compassionate action.
In 2015, through God’s grace and the support of our community, we secured a mortgage for our building at 100 Park Avenue. This milestone solidified our presence, ensuring a lasting foundation for our mission.
Today, The Rock Foundation Ministry remains steadfast in its calling. We continue to serve breakfast bi-weekly, share the gospel, and extend God’s love to all who enter our doors. More than just a place of worship, we are a family—united in faith, hope, and love—dedicated to transforming lives and uplifting our community.
Join us at The Rock Foundation Ministry, where faith is strengthened, community is built, and God’s love is shared. Our doors are always open to those seeking belonging, spiritual growth, and opportunities to serve.
