The Church

The Living Rock Church serves the shoreline and central Connecticut. From its establishment in March of 1984, the church has been led by its founding pastor, the Reverend Ryan Young. Our church can best be described as “people reaching out to people.” Each person is an important part of the Living Rock Church family.

The Living Rock Church began in the Madison area with twelve families. In January of 1988 we purchased 15.6 acres of land on Route 81 in Killingworth. On October 28, 1990, a new sanctuary was dedicated to the Glory of God.

The Living Rock Church has always used the Bible as its only source of doctrine and inspiration. New members are encouraged to attend a membership class to ensure a solid biblical foundation and to understand the history, direction, and vision of the church.

The Living Rock Church is a sending church. We have established churches in Worcester, Massachusetts; Fairlee, Vermont; Stonington, Connecticut; and various cities in Ukraine.

The church believes in people reaching people. The ministry is committed to making disciples of Christ that reflect Christ’s passion for lost people and witness His caring love to the community.
