Who We Are

Our Story

Since 2007, RODD Christian Church has been a growing body of believers in the St. Louis area, grounded in God's Word and filled with a heart for ministry. We are a multi-racial church family reaching beyond the four walls and into the hearts of men, women, boys, and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our mission is to build a family — not as the world defines it, but as God intended. At RODD, you will be welcomed and accepted just as you are, and loved unconditionally. You'll be taught the Word of God so you can experience and receive all that He has planned for your life. We believe you have a God-given purpose and destiny, and each week we strive to help you discover and walk in it.

RODD stands for Reaching Out, Delivering Destiny — and that's exactly what we do.
