Our Story
In 2002, a small group of people gathered in Dalton, Georgia, with a bold vision: to start a church where anyone could experience Jesus—no matter their background, doubts, or past.
That vision began with Matt and Beth Evans, a young couple who sensed God calling them to create a church for people who didn’t feel like they belonged in one. At just 26 years old, Matt left a career as a Naval officer, and together with Beth and a core team of 25 people, they planted what would become Rock Bridge Community Church.
From the beginning, Rock Bridge was created for the lost, the broken, the spiritually curious, and the de-churched—people searching for hope, truth, and community.
Today, Rock Bridge is one church with multiple locations, serving six communities across Northwest Georgia and the Tennessee Valley. All of our campuses share the same teaching, ministry experience, values, and budget, with weekly messages broadcast to help keep us unified across locations.
We are still convinced that life in Christ is the greatest life there is—and it’s meant to be shared.
Over the years, we’ve seen God do more than we could have asked or imagined. What began with a small step of faith has grown into a movement reaching thousands every week—through worship services, students' gatherings, kids’ environments, and countless moments of ministry throughout the week. All glory goes to Him.
