Rock Community Church is a vibrant church community serving Dumbarton and the surrounding area. As part of our vision, we aim to be actively engaged in celebrating, supporting and loving the people within our community. In 2018 we created a community hub, The Phoenix, designed to primarily serve the people of Dumbarton West, namely the residents of Castlehill, Westcliff, and Brucehill. The Phoenix includes a community cafe and a wide and varied activities programme including youth work, toddler provision, adult learning, intergenerational events, art classes, fitness classes, wellbeing programme and volunteer opportunities.
