Welcome to the Church on the Rock-Nashville, Arkansas weekly sermon podcast! We're delighted to have you join us as we explore and share the teachings that guide our faith and inspire our community.

At Church on the Rock, our vision is clear: We are committed to seeing the lost saved and the hurt restored. We strive to disciple, train, and empower individuals within our ministry, equipping them to serve and ultimately send them out to plant other ministries, continuing this cycle of faith and growth.

Each episode features insightful sermons that aim to strengthen your faith and provide spiritual nourishment. We hope these messages will not only uplift you but also inspire you to share God's love with others.

We invite you to join us in person at 117 E Clark St, Nashville, AR 71852. Our services are held on Sundays at 11 AM, and we also have a Wednesday Bible Study at 6:30 PM.
