A Message from Apostle Ball
Located in beautiful Panama City, Florida, The Rock is a gathering
of Believers who have been joined by Holy Spirit to form a local Ekklesia of Christ's Kingdom. There are many things
about The Rock which cause us to "stand out from the crowd," so to speak. One is that we believe in and accept the
actuality of present-day apostles and prophets. In fact, I am recognized as an apostle. We base this belief on Scripture (I
Corinthians 12:28 and Ephesians 4:11), which supports the validity of the five-fold ministry: apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors, and teachers. I have led this Ekklesia through many changes since I and my family came here in 1969. In addition to the ministry here in Panama City, I
am involved in the training and establishing of other men in the ministry, both in the U.S. and in other countries. I
presently give apostolic oversight to over twenty men and the ministries they have raised up.
Another thing that makes us different is that we choose to refer to God by the
name He gave Himself--Yahweh, and we refer to Jesus by the name that was given to Him--Yahshua. More information about
this can be found elsewhere in this website. (See Yahweh and Yahshua)
The Rock has a three point vision and purpose: to evangelize
Bay county, build a great church, and build a base from which to touch the world. It is in the heart of those who are
joined here to see that vision fulfilled!
