Each night we meet with the kids, I feel the burden of making sure we stick with our Mission and Vision. If you are not quite sure what that is, let me put it here: The Mission of RHK is "Sharing God's love with inner-city children through Biblical principles, with physical and spiritual solutions." RHK's Vision is "Meeting the physical, emotional, and educational needs of inner-city children by instilling hope in a safe, Christ-centered environment."

Rock House Kids established an endowment in 2024 with the goal to provide long-term financial support to the organization. In addition to the long-term purpose, the endowment can also provide short-term financial assistance under direction from the board and assist with grant applications whereby qualification requirements entail the non-profit have an endowment established.

Our RHK teens had special guests from the Rockford Police Canine Unit.

Serving the kids keeps me yearning to return every week. This is my way of serving Christ - by being there for all of them. Mostly, I feel called to be there to do my best to help lead them in the ways of the Lord. These kids have a special place in my heart. The world works against them non-stop. I just want to be someone they can look to that is there for them.

At RHK, we're continually amazed by the generosity of those who support our mission to share God's love with inner-city youth. One humbling example of this giving spirit comes from a small local church with just under 45 members that has faithfully poured into our ministry since its early days as a church.

We had a visit from the Girl Scouts of Northern Illinois Troop 875 this week. They worked hard selling several thousand boxes of Girl Scout cookies this year and decided they wanted to donate some boxes to bless our kids. What a treat! Thank you, ladies. We love your giving hearts. You girls ROCK!

Ever have “one of those days?” One evening during our program, one of the little boys was sent to me for the third time that evening. Nothing was helping. He was kicking other kids, jumping from place to place and would not listen to anything.
