Pastor Terry accepted his call to the teaching/preaching ministry in 1983. He is a graduate of Dallas Baptist University. Prior to moving to Portland, OR in 2004, he was a student at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is currently working on his Master of Divinity degree at Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary, Pacific Northwest Campus in Vancouver, WA. Pastor Terry accepted God's divine call to shepherd Solid Rock Baptist Church in August of 2006.
Solid Rock's Sunday School is a vibrant place for adults and children to learn from God's Word on a regular basis. Our classes are open and do not require previous experience or knowledge - we welcome all who want to learn! We have a structured curriculum, but it is also a great place to develop a support system of adults who have similar interests because our classes are specific to your life stage: young single adults or those with preschoolers, adults with school-age children, and retired adults. Your children and teens are also in a friendly, fun place to learn how God can work in their lives and what he expects of them.

Our young adult ministry realizes that negotiating college, career, and new family dynamics can create a set of challenges that are unique to young adults. The Bible teaches that God has a purpose and plan for our lives. The stresses that come with the new challenges of adulthood can supersede one's commitment to God. Solid Rock Adult Ministry is designed to assist young adults with the transitions that are taking place in their lives, to explore God's call to ministry, and to encourage one another to be ambassadors for Christ. Our paramount goal is to help each other incorporate the supremacy of our Lord into the changing paradigms of our daily living.

Today's society continues to overwhelm our youth with a set of standards that would create a breach in their moral fiber. Some of the norms that the non-Christian world accepts are contrary to the Word of God. Today's youth are indoctrinated with the world's viewpoint on sexuality, substance abuse, and immoral behavior. Our youth group is a safe place where the youth can discuss the pressures they are facing and learn biblical truths to guide them in an atmosphere where they are supported by their peers. The teachers are knowledgeable and aid the youth in developing God's eye view on what they are facing and assist them in developing the spiritual courage to make a stand for holiness. The youth group goes by the acronym TAB (Teens Against Beelzebub).

Children are a blessing from God. The Solid Rock Children's Ministry teaches fundamental biblical concepts in a loving and fun setting because we believe in providing teachers who make learning exciting. We also provide periodic activities for children of all ages, such as a Harvest Party in October, a Christmas party in December, Easter activities, mission activities, and a week long Vacation Bible School in the summer. Our children also have the opportunity to attend summer camps. Furthermore, our Nursery and Preschool classes provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

True worship is not about us; it is about the splendor and greatness of our Father. As living sacrifices, we offer to God a multifaceted approach of expressing our appreciation for who God is in the lives of all believers. God delights in the praises of His people, and He has said that He would draw near to us as we offer up our praise to Him. Our music worship team uses a blend of traditional hymns, contemporary praise songs, and special selections to lead the congregation in expressing our love for the Father and experiencing the joy and peace that only he can give. (Psalm 96:1-4)
