The Rock Church is a non-denominational congregation located at 1120 Apricot Circle in Forestdale.
The church, founded in 2009, began meeting at Miles College, then moved to the L. R. Hall Auditorium in downtown Birmingham. The church is headed by Pastor Michael McClure, Jr. In March 2010, the church purchased the 12-acre former West Birmingham Christian School for $500,000. The first service at Apricot Circle was held April 5, and had 500 in attendance, up from 30 at the downtown location. McClure and his staff, including his brother Darius, attribute the rise in attendance to the fact that the campus is situated next to Royal Orleans Apartments, giving hundreds of apartment dwellers a church within walking distance.
