I only knew Pastor Jim for a short time. But I remember when he came to visit one of our establishments at my work and I ran into him there, he grabbed my hands and had me remind him my name and asked if he could pray right there for me, and I obliged! It was one of the sweetest moments for me and I will always cherish that!

I think offer Pastor Jim Cobre he was like a father figure to me. He inspired me in so many ways. I really enjoyed Bible college with him as one of my professors and Bible college. He taught me so much. I will truly miss him. He will always be dear in my heart.

When I was a little boy 24 years ago I remember in the teal building Pastor Jim watching me worship God in the front row cause my mom was in the choir he stopped worshipping and stared at me and ended up stopping the entire service to speak a prophecy over my life. That I would grow up to have a ministry as big a his and lead people to Christ. My whole life I've ran from that because I didnt want that responsibility, the last year or so God has been moving in my heart and My prayer the last month has been for God to show me what he showed Pastor Jim and show me what it is I am supposed to do with my life. Pastor Jim was a spiritual Father to me since I didnt have a father growing up. I thank that man for correcting us in the pulpit. Glory be to God for his ability to lead people to Christ. See ya soon Pastor!

Thank God for Pastor Jim . He became father to the fatherless for so many of us . God always knows where to plant his people and for Him to have pastor Jim pastor a church in San Bernardino has truly been a blessing! Thanks pastor Jim for finishing your race strong . Now it’s up to us to continue the race . Love the Obeso’s

Pastor Jim is an amazing man of God and the love he showed all of us is a blessing. I’m so grateful for all the years my children and I have attended the Rock . Pastor Jim’s Legacy will live on for many generations and I will miss him dearly. He always brought a smile to my face and when speaking the word of God warmed my heart and gave me the hope to continue . He really was a Father to the father less . Thank you for allowing us to be there and celebrate his life.

I remember Pastor: Jim preaching about Humility on a Wednesday night a while back.

We live in those homes across the street from the church. It was one big empty lot and when we saw them building, we were curious to find out what it was going to be. We were really excited to see that it was going to be a big church and couldn't wait to go. We went a few times and Pastor Jim was preaching. We really enjoyed the word, but for some reason we stopped going. In 2007 my young sister passed away unexpectedly. I was very sad and I wanted to find out more about where she was because I knew she was saved. My husband and I went back to the church and we came forward with Pastor Jim's aggressive alter call. that was the beginning of it all. Pastor Jim and Debra's teachings have been so inspirational and have taught me so much and have really brought me so much closer to God. We love how he always spoke the truth and told it like it is. I love how we spoke of the love that he had for Jesus, his beautiful family, and his church. We are so proud to be a part of this church. Pastor Jim will truly be missed. The blessing of being a Christian is that we all see each other again someday.

Words don’t express the profound impact Pastor Jim had on my life. Love you all very much. Continued prayers for you all and for the church. Lamentations 3:22-23.

In 2004 the year before I graduated San Gorgonio High school located in San Bernardino, I had an extra credit class helping my school counselor with whatever she needed help with at the time. I remember in one of your talks in her office she encouraged me to attend church and asked me if I had heard of “The Rock church” located in San Bernardino off Waterman. To my surprise in 2005 when I first visited The Rock church, I could remember saying to myself wow this is a big beautiful church in the middle of San Bernardino and how could I have missed it this whole time living in the Inland Empire. since then this has been my church. Thank you Pastor Jim for being my mentor and pastor as I grew up after high school. I still have CD’s that I would buy after service that you preached, and will listen and cherish them forever. Thank You to Pastor Jim and Pastor Deborah for loving God and for teaching me to build a relationship with God. I will forever be grateful and honored to be part of this church. We will miss you dearly and may you rest in paradise next to our loving Jesus. Love always Rosemary.

I am nearly 25 now but I started going to the Rock when I was 12 and I still remember the unique fire that pastor Jim had back when I was a kid. I can still remember nearly all the words of his alter calls and those words convict me when I’m getting into bad behaviors again. I thank God for all the pastors at this church especially Jim for his ministry and leadership but most of all for his OBEDIENCE to the Holy Spirit. I love how he lived such a wonderful example for us to follow because he truly was following Jesus faithfully. Rest in peace pastor Jim I’ll always remember you and be grateful for your words and service for our church. You really touched my heart. God bless the Cobrae family in this time and always.

I love the way Pastor Jim would explain God’s word so an individual that was not a bible scholar would be able to comprehend!!!

In 2011 I had a minor surgery that turned into a life changing, surgeon made an error and injured my intestines. Since then I started having some health issues, one day at church I was feeling very sick with an intense abdominal pain, this day I was serving at the children's ministry and the pain was so intense and I stepped away for a minute, pastor Jim was walking around with Paul and he came to me and prayed over me for healing, after the surgery I had and due to all the trauma I had I was experiencing some symptoms that could relate to stomach cancer ; during this time I was waiting on my test results... Pastor Jim prayed over me for healing and that I will never get any bad reports and 13 yrs after I still experience some flare ups here and there and have to be tested once or even twice a yr and till this day my test results are clear, that day I believed for healing and his faith teaching has thought me to believe for the supernatural and declare healing over my body... This life event brought me to the rock church and pastor Jim's teachings brought me closer to God and because of Him I have a life filled with Jesus... Thank you pastor Jim
