What is Coram Deo?
This Latin phrase means to live a life "before the face of God."
We believe God is leading us into a two-year discipleship journey centered on living consciously aware of, yielded to, and satisfied by the presence of God. Coram Deo invites everyone to answer the question, "Am I faithfully living my life Coram Deo — realizing that God is with me in life-changing, eternity-altering, and joy-sustaining ways?"
This primary goal challenges each and every one of us to take significant next steps of obedience to what God is calling us into in this next season.
Secondary Goal
We are trusting God with a secondary goal of $2 million for vision advancement as we partner with God to reclaim, level up, or seek new territory in our mission. Coram Deo invites us into prayerful reflection and collaborative discernment to discover what God would have us to do that might remove obstacles to His fullness, express greater faithfulness to His Word, and to edify the body of Christ here at Rock Bridge. We have identified three areas to categorize potential actions and guide our discernment:
Reclaim
We are reclaiming ministry expressions, attitudes, and actions that have waned in faithfulness and/or fruitfulness in our church life.
Level Up
We are leveling up for ministry expressions, attitudes, and actions that are bearing fruit but have identifiable potential to grow, expand, and/or improve.
New Territory
We are exploring new territory where we discern the opportunity to grow in our reach, expand in our Great Commission pursuits, and/or deepen our intentional disciple-making efforts

We will send notifications and discipleship materials through our app. You can also grab Coram Deo merch from the Rock Bridge store.
