Everyone deserves a place where they can discover and pursue God’s design in a Bible-believing church.

That’s why it is our goal to plant 50 neighborhood churches and Christian schools in every neighborhood in Pinellas County.

Get connected this Sunday at 9 & 10:30 AM.

Anxiety makes you feel like you’re not in control. The truth is…you’re not.

You might seem “good” on the outside, but deep down like there has to be more.

There is. 🙌

Jesus didn’t come to make bad people better—He came to bring the dead to life.

Feeling rejected? Look to Jesus. 🙏

You can face rejection with confidence when you:

🔹 Accept who you are in Christ
🔹 Believe in the hope you have in Him
🔹 Count on your inheritance in Christ
🔹 Depend on the power of Christ

What a powerful and timely reminder from Pastor Aaron this past Sunday. 🙌

With the weight of current events pressing heavily on so many hearts, it’s easy to feel discouraged.

But as followers of Christ, we hold onto a hope the world cannot offer—a hope rooted in truth. ▶️

Pastor Aaron said it loud and clear this past Sunday: Be a Dolly, not a Bruno.

Whether you’re in the office, the classroom, working from home, or enjoying retirement—let’s tap into that BEAST MODE energy today! 👊

And make plans to join us on Sunday at 9 & 10:30 am.

Yesterday, we laid to rest my friend and our brother in Christ, Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea.
At the request of his family, the service was private—an intimate, off-camera time to remember the man we loved. While the world knew him as a larger-than-life figure, I knew him simply as Terry—a humble, joyful, Jesus-loving man whose life was transformed by the grace of God.
Although the funeral was private, we wanted to share a video that was shown at his celebration of life service. This video tells the side of Terry that I’m grateful to know personally, fully surrendered to Jesus Christ. At the end, you’ll hear him pray for YOU—for every person who hears the sound of his voice—to pursue salvation.
If that’s something you've been longing for, don’t wait. Reach out to me directly or find a local, Bible-believing church. Jesus offers the same grace and new life to you that He gave to Terry.
Terry wasn’t perfect, none of us are, but he was changed by the Gospel. He walked closely with our church family, growing in faith and always pointing others to the hope he found in Jesus, wearing his John 3:16 shirt with a verse he lived by:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
That promise wasn’t just for Terry—it’s for anyone. The same hope, forgiveness, and eternal life Terry believed in is available to all who trust in Jesus.
I miss him deeply. But I know this: because of Jesus, Terry is more alive now than ever—fully healed, fully free, and in the presence of his Savior.

I wanted to give the family some time before sharing what’s on my heart. On Thursday, Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea went to heaven.

Terry was a member of our church and a personal friend. Over the past two years, we had the opportunity to pray together, study God’s Word, challenge one another, and grow in our faith. It’s always a highlight to see believers taking spiritual steps, but I will always remember baptizing Terry and Sky and officiating their wedding ceremony.

Though we miss him deeply, we know he is in the presence of the Lord—fully healed, fully free, and worshiping the Savior he loved with all his heart. Terry is more alive now than he has ever been.

To the world, he was Hulk Hogan—a legend. But to us at Indian Rocks Church, he was simply Terry: a humble, joyful, Jesus-loving man who lived out his faith every day. He worshiped faithfully with his wife, Sky—not behind the scenes, but shoulder to shoulder with the people he loved. He didn’t want the spotlight or the green room. He wanted to be where God was moving.

Those of us who had the joy of worshiping alongside Terry knew him not as a celebrity, but as a brother in Christ. He loved God, loved people, and loved his neighbors right here in Pinellas County.

Most Sundays, he showed up in his iconic John 3:16 shirt—often with a guest or two—friends he invited because he wanted them to experience the same hope and love he found in Jesus. He always made time for people: handshakes, hugs, and conversations that pointed hearts to Christ.

Terry wasn’t a perfect man—he never claimed to be. He had a past, and he made mistakes. But Terry was a Jesus man, and that’s the beauty of the Gospel. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Terry didn’t just talk about his faith—he lived it. He walked in grace, and he made sure everyone around him knew that grace was available for them too.

I’m going to miss him, but I hold on to the simple truth Terry believed with all his heart: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”—Romans 10:9

That’s the kind of saving faith Terry had. That’s why we know we’ll see him again one day.

If you’re reading this today, know that you can have the same kind of faith Terry had. Jesus offers hope, forgiveness, and eternal life to anyone who believes. We invite you to visit a local, Bible-believing church—just like Terry did—and discover God’s design for your life.

I love you, Terry. Thank you for showing us how to boldly live for Jesus and finish strong.

Live is worth living because HE lives!

Most of our evangelism efforts fail because we're aiming at nothing. You got to have a plan. You got to have some intention behind it. #easter #plan #gospel
