The Western Church is at a Crossroads.

Many Christians can sense it: something about church leaves them unsatisfied, or questioning. Why is the church so disjoined? What are we missing? What can bring us together?

On one hand lies the well-worn path of mainstream evangelicalism: shaped by tradition, clouded by poor interpretation, tangled in red tape, and distracted by dry strategies that don’t produce real discipleship for everyone in the pews.

On the other hand, a growing movement is calling the church back to its true foundation—not by chasing novelty, but by returning to Christ, Scripture, and the shared life of the Christian disciple.

The goal is not to sow division, but to seek restoration, and to do that together—rooted, radiant, and unified, just as Christ intended. 

What makes On This Rock different?

On This Rock is a distraction-free, Christ-centered learning community where believers:

• Study Scripture in its original context — exploring culture, language, and worldview.
  
  

• Wrestle with complex and overlooked biblical themes in a safe, respectful space.
  
  

• Build cross-ministry connections — we welcome voices from across traditions.
  
  

• Learn and pray together, not in isolation — because discipleship is a group project.
  
  

Spend some time with us, and you won’t just gain knowledge. We’ll each become a more grounded, mature, and equipped follower of Christ, together.  That is, after all, why we’re here.

  On This Rock is for Christians who are hungry for depth—whether you're a pastor, content creator, small group leader, or curious layperson. If you’ve ever felt like “church as usual” isn’t cutting it, you’re in the right place.
• Do I need to be part of a specific denomination?
  Not at all. We welcome people from a wide variety of Christian traditions. Our focus is biblical theology rooted in the text and its context—not denominational boundaries.
• Is this beginner-friendly?
  Absolutely. Whether you're brand new to studying Scripture or have years of experience, our platform is designed to help you grow from wherever you are—at your own pace, with community support.
• What kind of time commitment is expected?
  There’s no required schedule. Engage as much or as little as fits your life. You can browse discussions casually, or dive into deeper study through events and courses when you're ready.
• How do the courses work?
  Courses are currently under production in multiple formats (video, text, and live cohort-based options). They're designed to help you understand Scripture in context and apply it meaningfully—not just learn facts. Many courses will be collaborative and encourage discussion.
• Can I use this with my small group or church?
  Yes! Many of our resources are ideal for group use. You can invite others into the community, study materials together, or even use course content to facilitate group learning and discussion.
• Is the platform safe and private?

• Who leads or moderates this community?
  On This Rock is guided by a collaborative team of theologians, content creators, and Christian educators. Community moderators help ensure conversations remain respectful, helpful, and grounded in biblical truth. The community began as a collaborative project headed by Carey Griffel, host of the podcast Genesis Marks the Spot.
• What makes On This Rock different from other Bible programs or online studies?
  We’re not just another program. We’re a community of people actively working to rebuild the Church from the ground up—by pursuing deep biblical theology, practical training, and real transformation. You won't just learn here—you’ll be equipped to teach, lead, and disciple others.
• Wait...what is biblical theology?  
  While biblical theology covers a wide variety of things, at its heart is studying the Bible in its original context.  This includes grammar and linguistics, but even more than that, it is understanding the culture and worldview of the biblical authors.
• Can I cancel or leave at any time?
  Of course. You’re free to come and go as you wish. If you're a paying member, you can cancel your subscription anytime.
