This congregation is associated with the Southern Baptist Convention and views spirituality as a journey that moves ahead with time, evaluation and experience. The church was initiated as a mission of the First Baptist Church of Ellisville with 13 families and 12 acres of land. At first they met in a local school for worship and Sunday school and used the church offices and meeting rooms at Ellisville for weekday activities. Rockwood became an independent church, in a dedicated building, in May of 1995. The church hosts special events throughout the year and offers several ministries.
