Who we are
The Church On The Rock is a mobile Foursquare Church here in McKinleyville. Our church began in 1994 as a home Bible Study out of the small group ministry of nearby Eureka Faith Center Foursquare Church. Several small groups then combined to become a church plant.
For several years, the church met in several places, like the local grange and in schools, setting up and tearing down each week. We then moved into a converted medical office, until we outgrew it and moved to our current location.
We love God and want you to know and experience how much He loves you! We enjoy His presence, and invite the Holy Spirit to come through prayer, praise and worship that honors Him. We place a high priority on building personal relationships with God and with each other. We want to reflect the life and ministry of Jesus Christ in our own lives and we value the Bible as the Word of God and aim to live by its teachings. We partner with other churches to expand the Kingdom of God in our region and around the world, on earth as it is in heaven. We celebrate God’s unconditional love, grace, mercy and forgiveness.
If you do not know Jesus Christ in a personal way, we would be delighted to help you experience Him yourself. We invite you to come and join us in pursuing Him.

Leader Bio:
PASTOR DAVID KILMER has a passion for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit and for the advance of the kingdom of God in McKinleyville and in the North Coast Region of California. He works to help each person come into health and wholeness through Christ and His unconditional love, grace and mercy. He wants to help each one to experience personally the love and presence of Christ. He wants also to help each one to come into his or her own spiritual destiny and inheritance as a joint heir and as a royal priest of Christ. His priority then for this season is equipping believers, especially young leaders, to do the work of the ministry, until we all come to unity in Christ in love (Ephesians 4:11-16). At The Church on the Rock, he works to continue the emphasis on building personal relationships and fellowship where visitors are welcomed to become a valued part of the church family. He prays and works for revival and for our nation to return to God and the Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers. His heart is also for the nations so that “every tribe and tongue and people and nation” will be represented around the throne of God (Revelation 5:9-10).
David has served as the pastor of The Church on the Rock, a Foursquare Church, since February of 2010. He and his wife Elizabeth have been partners in ministry now in four churches in Humboldt County since they first came here in 1985. Before coming to The Church on the Rock, he was the pastor at the Ferndale Community Church (Independent) for 19 years, as the interim pastor at Arcata First Baptist Church (Charismatic American Baptist) for three years, and as a co-pastor at the Murray Road Community Church, McKinleyville (Southern Baptist) for one year.
Before coming to Humboldt county he served as an Elder in an independent charismatic church and served on staff in two American Baptist Churches, all in Marin County. Over the years, he has networked and partnered with other pastors, churches and ministries for the greater cause of Christ.
An experienced Bible teacher, David has been an instructor at the North Coast Bible Institute since 2003, hosted at the Eureka Faith Center Foursquare Church, but which is open to the community. Over the years he also has been a volunteer teacher in several Bible Institutes, Leadership and Discipleship Schools as well as for other local ministries in the area. He specializes in both the Old and New Testaments, Biblical Theology and Revival History.
He developed a heart for the nations early on, when he lived overseas in Ethiopia, Kenya and Egypt with his family as a child, before returning stateside to live in Ohio, Connecticut, Pasadena, California and then in the San Francisco Bay Area for 25 years before coming to Humboldt County. Before becoming a Christian, he received a B.A. degree in Art History from the University of California at Santa Barbara. He had a salvation experience in 1973 and accepted a call to ministry in 1975. He has a Masters of Divinity degree from Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, received his first ministerial license in 1977 and his first ordination in 1983. He and his wife Elizabeth have been married over 30 years. They have two grown sons who are serving the Lord on the worship team in a church in the Seattle area.
