About Us
We love them, for He loved us first.
At Roca Kidz Club, we believe that God’s love transforms hearts, renews spirits, and changes lives forever. We exist to share God’s unconditional love with Manchester kidz and inspire them to ignite a ripple effect of love and transformation in their communities. With three different locations across the city, we strive to create an environment where every child feels loved, accepted, and empowered to thrive.
Roca Kidz Club’s Values
Guiding Principles for Impactful Change
The Holy Bible is the inspired word of God and it is necessary in our everyday lives.
2 Timothy 3:16 – “All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.”
God created the world and everything in it according to His purpose.
Colossians 1:16 – “For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities – all things were created through Him and for Him.”
We believe in the “Trinity”, God the father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 13:14 “ May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.”
The family unit is foundational and needs to be modeled for the benefit of the kids. We believe in the sanctity of marriage between a male and female as they were created by God.
Ephesians 5:31 – “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the Church.”
All life is precious.
Psalm 139:13-14 – “For you formed my inner parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
We have all sinned and are saved only by receiving the gift of the birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.”
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”
All lives can be transformed through a relationship with Jesus Christ, which is the only way to a connection with God the Father.
Matthew 19:14 – “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.’”
John 14:6 – “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”
Our goal is to walk in love because Christ first loved us, and we recognize the expression and example of love as set forth by God in the Ten Commandments.
Matthew 22:36-40 – “Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?’ Jesus replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commands.”
Testimonials
We Can All Make a Difference
“ I love seeing kids build relationships and trust with the volunteers. We get to show up and be a light in their lives and show them what the love of Jesus looks like.”
“ My favorite thing about Roca is pouring into these kids and helping them know that they have value and that God has specifically created them with a purpose.”
“ Roca is so much more than just a ministry for kids. It’s a life-changing event where you get to see the Lord do things not just in the kids but in the volunteers and get to experience His supernatural love. Roca is truly God-breathed, and it has his fingerprints all over it.”
“ I love when a kid comes through the door, and their face lights up when they see you! A lot of these kids come from hard places and have endured more than a lot of us can imagine. I love that they know that when they walk through the doors at Roca, that they are safe and loved. It allows them to be kids, and it’s amazing to watch them start to open up and smile.”
“ Seeing small or large changes in the children’s behavior and attitudes, and seeing their interest in Jesus is one of my favorite things about Roca.”
“ Roca is a great way to serve the community, love Manchester, and share the love of Jesus with kids!”
“ I love being a part of Roca and being able to show the kids God’s love each week!”
“ The kids and all their love keep me coming back every week.”
Testimonials
Adult Roca Kids and Family Testimonials
¨I’m so thankful for Roca. I feel like if I didn’t have Roca in my life, I don’t know where I would be right now, and I don’t know how close I’d be to God if I didn’t have this place.”
“I thank all the staff and volunteers for coming and showing kids that there are people that love you even if you’re not getting that at your own house.”
“ When my mother passed away, I gained custody of my nephew. He had no male figure to help with copying or to talk too, and I reached out to Mr. Eddie who we met through Roca and he stepped up and took the time to take him out and get a haircut and just talk. Roca is the best and the volunteers are awesome!”
“The volunteers are nice and respectful of all the kids that go there. It’s a safe environment where kidz can go have fun and be safe. I send my kids to Roca because it’s a place where they can express themselves and feel loved by others. The children makes new friends, and enjoy conversations with other adults who listen and help them seek alternatives instead of hanging out on the city streets.”
