Philip was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ at an early age.  He met his wife, Heather, in the fifth grade and they married while in college.  Philip works with an association of Christian schools.  They have three children: Gabrielle, Benjamin and Nathan.  Through the years, Philip and Heather have served in various churches across Virginia and Colorado mostly through small groups and children’s ministries.  Currently Philip serves as a member of the setup and tear down team as well as facilitating a Community Group at River Rock.

Jim Stone currently serves as our Associate Pastor. He and his wife Elaine have served for 42 years in multiple full-time pastoral positions in Maryland and Virginia. They've committed their lives to serving people to the glory of God: spreading His love and hope. Being married for 39 years, they have three married children: Aaron & Missy, Jesse & Brooke, and Olivia & Daniel. They also share six grandchildren earth-side and one residing in heaven. They are thrilled to begin their partnership at River Rock; thanking God for this new ministry adventure.
