About Puerto Penasco and the ministry: 

Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point, is nestled between the beautiful sea of Cortes and the majestic Sonoran desert. It’s known for dune-backed Sandy Beach and tidal pools and still remains a tourist destination.

However, economic and social viability of Puerto Peñasco has been and remains in crisis. During 2003-2008 the city boomed in population due to tourist infrastructure development with workers moving from the south of Mexico. However, Puerto Peñasco hit bottom at the end of 2009 with a high unemployment index due to the global economic crisis.

Rocky Point Family of God Church, has been a bright beacon of hope in Puerto Peñasco for nearly 20 years, reaching out and loving the hurting and fearful people of Puerto Peñasco with the good news of Jesus Christ! It serves the community through regular church services and gatherings, free medical, dental and optical clinics, tutoring programs and outreach events.
